- Authors
Cruz, Brandi N.; Miller, Eva; Chen, Roy K.
- Abstract
Social media platforms represent a primary form of communication among people of all ages, with young adults being the leading users of social media. While social media use (SMU) has many benefits, there are numerous studies that show excessive SMU is correlated with high rates of depression. There is extensive research on the effects of SMU among adolescents; however, there are limited studies that address the effects of SMU among young adults. We reviewed the counseling literature from 2010 to 2020 to identify studies pertaining to SMU and depression among young adults and identified effective, evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches for treating depression among young adults who are heavy social media users. Rehabilitation counseling implications and recommendations are addressed provided based on our findings.
