Summary/Abstract: Social media has forever changed how we interact with the world. In many ways, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and the like have become an integral part of our individual identities. This is particularly true in adolescent and young adult populations. Social scientists are just beginning to understand the interplay between social media use and individual mental health. Research has demonstrated both negative and positive effects of social media use on well-being.
