1COMPLEX MENTAL HEALTH AND RECOVERY
Question 1: Does excessive use of social media causing mental health problems among
children and adolescent?
Answer: A study from the University of Pittsburgh found a connection among time consumed by
browsing social media websites and the negative comments from mental health. All who
invested more time on the internet, opposed to their colleagues who invested less time on the
computer, are 2.2 times more likely to report on negative issues. There was 2.6 times the risk for
participants who spent a lot of time on social networks (Sidani et al., 2016). Findings of a distinct
research by the Pittsburgh School of Medicine demonstrate that, as often as young people spend
their time on social media, they are more probable to have mental health problems like sleeping
issues and likely to report depression symptoms (Levenson et al., 2017).
Question 2: Does cyber bullying in online/internet era cause mental health problems among
children and adolescent?
Answer: The increase of cyber bullying among adolescents and children raises the worse
circumstances which influences the mental well-being of the adolescents and children which in
turn has caused mental health issues. Internet usage and other electronic platforms provide cyber
bullying instruments. In relation to changes in the life of young people, the Digital age therefore
also presents new challenges Therefore bullying is miserably still too common in academic
settings or by colleagues. Nevertheless, the comprehensive nature of social networks means that
aggravation can happen past the classroom entrances, and even without name. In certain
countries, the onset of cyber bullying is confirmed; particularly if the Internet usages have
increased due to Internet use (Livingstone, Stoilova & Kelly, 2016).
