Addressing the Social Media Addiction Epidemic

This is "the other" socially accepted addiction

Social media addiction is becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide as we have more uses, users, and platforms; It doesn’t help that these tech companies are getting better at attracting (and keeping) attention.

How to Address & Correct Social Media Addiction

Social media addiction is the compulsive need to spend time on social media sites, such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok, and other online platforms.
