Why is it important?

Scholars are interested in social media addiction due to its enormous physical and psychological repercussions on its users, a word that has just lately appeared in medical science. Because of the possibility that the COVID outbreak may have worsened the use of social media, the problem has received more attention in the post-COVID age. Because of this, the current study examines how health issues during and after the COVID lockdown are impacted by negative emotions and social media addiction (SMA).

Perspectives

It is important to reevaluate how the COVID disaster's bad emotions have affected social media addiction and health problems. Government and companies have influence over people's working hours, and stress management has to be a highest concern to address difficulties with social media addiction.
