Manage episode 221629444 series 2309604
Social media addiction is a term that's been floating around the last few years. But is social media ACTUALLY an addiction at all?
What do you think?
We've seen a complete explosion of social media use and social media networks over the last decade. It has created careers and virtually changed the world as we know it!
Some psychologists have argued that social media addiction should be added into the Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders or DSM for short.
According to Webster, Addiction is a compulsive need for and use of a habit-forming substance (such as heroin, nicotine, or alcohol) characterized by tolerance and by well-defined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal.
Here are some questions to ask yourself if you think you may be addicted to social media:
Do you spend time thinking about social media or planning to use social media?
Do you feel urges to use social media more and more?
Do you use social media to forget about personal problems?
Do you often try to reduce social media use without success?
Do you become restless or troubled if you are unable to use social media?
Ultimately, you have to decide if your social media use is getting out of control and to set boundaries if you feel that it is.
What is your opinion? Do you feel social media can be addictive?
