According to this article, with an increased usage of social media, this is directly allied with dejection and anxiety. This makes the autonomous role of consuming social media being unclear, with the survey that was conducted among young adults aged between 19-32 years, depression and anxiety are common. The authors assessed the utilization of social media platforms and from the research, they postulated that the usage of numerous social media websites is independently linked to the indicators of anxiety and depression. With young adults being progressively engaged with social media, 90 percent of them visit these sites more often and engagement through Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat have provided more opportunities for young adults to keep in touch and the level of social interaction may lead to increased cases of depression and anxiety. The authors have also claimed that the usage of social media can translate to individuality diffusion, which can ultimately lead depression and anxiety and additional opportunities for negative interactions, online misunderstanding and feelings of being left out which can lead to anxiety.

This journal article makes a systematic test on whether the use of media and other precise technologies such as Facebook can lead to other technology-related anxieties and other related attitudes. There are medical indications of character disorders and disposition conditions that affect the social media users. The authors highlight that depression, antisocial behavior, and bipolar-mania are main health issues that are related with spending too much time on social media. In addition, these authors also factored unique contributions of technology after factoring out attitudes and anxiety which affects the psychological well-being of the social media users. Considerably, technology use, attitudes and anxiety usually predict the manifestation of unhealthiness of social media. For instance, these authors claim that the general usage of Facebook and the number of friends that a Facebook user has can be used to predict symptoms of social disorders such as anxiety.

The social networking sites have evolved as pervasive aspects of the modern culture and they are found to directly affect individual user’s mental health. The authors attempted to conduct a systematic review to make an identification and summary of how depression and anxiety are caused by excessive use of social media. The authors also intended to carry out a research to recognize issues that also supplement the context of mental illnesses with measures and mediators that adds anxiety and depression leading to emotional illness. From the research that the authors conducted, social support, positive interactions and connectedness of users of social media were established to be related to lower anxiety and depression levels while at the same time, social comparisons and undesirable relations on social media are associated to complex anxiety and depression levels.

The intent of this article is to make an exploration of the relationship that prevails between emotional well-being and social media use among the young adult population. According to the author, there exists a connection between deteriorating mental health of the young adults and their social media usage. Young adults have become predominantly active on social media and this has put them at risks for developing emotional well-being concerns such as anxiety and despair over the content shared on social networking sites. Presently, anxiety and social media are co-related and the researcher uses social theories that help to understand the association amongst social media usage and cases of despair and anxiety among young adults. Social media has been found to shake individual behavior, romantic relationships and even sleep interruption that could lead to mental health issues.
