Abstract

This review paper explored the relationship between social media addictions and depression to clarify further the link between overuse of social media and depression and enables individuals to know about the harmfulness of overuse in social media and raise the consciousness of cautiously using social media. This paper integrated different opinions to review the influence of social media addiction, including the symptoms and effects of low self-esteem and loneliness on humans. Also, this review paper discussed the mechanism of social media addiction and depression, including individual differences, intermediate agents, and cognitive mechanisms. Based on the evidence suggests, social media addiction is positively correlated with social media addiction. As more people get addicted to social media, they are more likely to have depression mood or lead to disease. As a result, the importance and feasibility of social media addiction precautions are discussed in this article. This paper discovered a trend of social media overusing, and society is becoming less communication in real life. We hope that the public can use social media correctly and moderately. The paper covers the definition of social media addiction and depression to enable readers to have a preliminary understanding so that readers can follow in our footsteps to seek the influence of social media addiction on depression.
