Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the psychological health effects of excessive social media use among teens, addressing the increasingly concerning issue of internet addiction as a global health threat. Specifically, the focus group research study explores the psychosocial effects, revealing that adolescents frequently immerse themselves in social media and use it as an escape mechanism. The findings highlight the pressing need for tailored interventions to mitigate the potential emotional negative effects and to provide integrated service solutions to support safer and healthier online habits among youth.
