What happens when social media use become compulsive?

Social media have become ever more popular and, for many, are enjoyable parts of life.

For a growing number of people, however, social media use can become difficult to manage with increasing amounts of time spent engaging in it until it starts to impact or even take priority over other important aspects of life such as educational, work, or social commitments.

Despite significant consequences, individuals find themselves unable to limit or stop their usage, feeling out of control, distressed, and ashamed.
