### **Smartphone Addiction Leads WHO Calling for Tobacco-Like Ban**
Social media's impact on youth mental health is multifaceted; while it offers connectivity and a platform for expression, there's growing evidence it contributes to mental health issues like anxiety and depression, especially among girls due to comparison culture and FOMO.
Research and discussions, including insights from platforms like X, indicate that while social media is not the sole factor, its design encouraging constant connectivity might foster feelings of inadequacy, dependency, and increased social anxiety. There's an ongoing debate on the extent of its influence compared to other factors like family and school environments, with some studies suggesting social media's role might be less significant than commonly perceived.
Regulatory measures, educational strategies, and parental guidance are increasingly seen as necessary to mitigate these adverse effects, focusing on digital literacy, limiting usage, and fostering balanced technology engagement to protect youth mental health.
