Dampak dari Penggunaan Media Sosial terhadap Gangguan Psikologis Mahasiswa

Abstract

Students are increasingly using social media and incorporating it into their everyday life. It has been demonstrated that kids' psychological health is impacted by social media use if it is not appropriately regulated. This study aims to investigate the connection between students' use of social media and psychiatric illnesses. A literature review is the process employed, which entails gathering and assessing scientific publications pertaining to the research subject as well as a variety of national and international periodicals. According to the study's findings, excessive social media use can lead to a number of psychological conditions, such as stress, anxiety, depression, sleep pattern disturbances, FOMO, and social media addiction. Furthermore, these negative consequences are exacerbated by cyberbullying, social comparison, and a lack of self-control. High levels of social media use also have an impact on kids' academic performance, social interactions, and learning focus. However, social networking can be beneficial if utilized sensibly and with sufficient computer literacy. Therefore, in order to safeguard students' mental health, initiatives to reduce social media use and enhance self-control are required.
