Can Social Media Cause Depression

People have been complaining about social media for some time now. Some people oppose their presence at all. But is it that bad? Does it need to be removed? Only time can tell. But it is not wrong that social media is causing a side effect, but then everything has a side effect. The only thing that needs to be assessed is whether or not it is life-threatening bad. People have been debating that while there is a bad side to social media, it is only there because of the manner the people are using it.
Yet, there are many teens out there, even adults who can't seem to handle its effects even after being well aware of how to use it. People are being diagnosed with depression, and a lot of times, the prime reason is social media. It is time that people are aware of how does it exactly affect a person and what a person can do to avoid it.
