As someone that does not use social media whatsoever, I didn’t really place on the Social Media Disorder Scale. I think that the items in the scale accurately reflect some of the signs and symptoms of those that are addicted to social media. People often feel frustrated and cut off when they don’t have access to it. Additionally, they can and will neglect their responsibilities and hobbies on a daily basis. They basically cannot live without it. I think that there are different patterns that are found throughout the world because some ethnic groups and countries do not have the luxury of being able to use technology on a daily basis. Some countries are poor and have bad economic conditions that prohibit youths and even adults from being able to use social media and in a broader sense, technology. Social media can be a good thing, but it can also be a very bad thing. Studies have shown that the use of social media can cause depression and other mental health problems. These include anxiety, insomnia, low self-esteem, inattention, and hyperactivity. It is important to note that these are only a few of the mental health problems brought on by social media use. The list goes on and on.
