Abstract
This study examined the impact of social media on self-identity and mental health, focusing on anxiety and depression among young adults. As social media became integral to daily life, understanding its effects on mental well-being, particularly among vulnerable groups, was essential. Using a quantitative approach, researchers analyzed responses from n=300 young adults aged 18-30 through structured surveys measuring social media usage, self-esteem, social comparison, anxiety, and depression. Findings indicated that females experienced higher anxiety and depression levels than males, while those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds faced greater mental health challenges. Factors like lower self-esteem and increased social comparison were linked to poorer outcomes. The study underscored the need for targeted interventions addressing gender and socioeconomic disparities, advocating for future research to explore longitudinal effects and include diverse populations for enhanced generalizability.
