DescriptionIn recent years, the Internet has revolutionized the way people communicate and interact. The youth form the highest percentage of Internet users and social networking sites (SNS). Recent studies have indicated that SNS usage can affect the mental health of users both positively and negatively. Excessive use of SNS has the potential to initiate and aggravate the signs and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem among some users . In other studies, SNS have been shown to positively combat the issues of mental health. This capstone paper will focus on the youth who are affected by their extensive use of SNS. Bias will be on the negative impacts, especially in relation to mental health issues this population will face. This capstone paper reviews the current literature to understand better the relationship between SNS use and mental health issues among the youth and recommends interventions that can reduce the risk of mental issues from SNS usage.
