According to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Melbourne, people who use social media excessively are more likely to experience symptoms of depression. The study found that individuals who spent more than two hours per day on social media had double the risk of experiencing depressive symptoms compared to those who spent less time online.

The constant exposure to curated and idealized images on social media platforms can lead to feelings of envy, inadequacy, and low self-esteem. Additionally, excessive use of social media may result in decreased face-to-face interactions and real-life experiences, leading to feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Furthermore, studies have shown that scrolling through endless feeds or comparing oneself to others can trigger negative emotions such as anxiety or sadness.

However, it’s important to note that while there is evidence linking excessive social media usage with depression symptoms, this does not establish causation. It is possible that individuals prone to depression are more likely to spend excessive time on these platforms as a coping mechanism or due to existing mental health issues.

Overall, moderation is key when using social media platforms. Engaging in activities beyond the digital realm and maintaining healthy offline relationships can help mitigate potential negative effects on mental well-being associated with excessive use.
