Summary:
"According to the Pew Research Center, sixty-nine percent of adults and eighty-one percent of teens in the United States use social media. While social media can help people stay in touch with friends and family and stay up to date on the world, it also has a dark side. Studies show that people who abuse social media face an increased risk of anxiety, depression, and loss of self-esteem. Additionally misinformation on social media can cause people to make poor decisions about health, political, and other issues. [This book] discusses the negative physical and mental effects of social media addiction, as well as its effects on family and other loved ones; and provides an overview of treatment options for the addiction"--Adapted from publisher description.
