Is Social Media a Cause of Mental Health?

i looked at several longitudinal studies that have been done to see if social media is actually an important cause of mental health and well being struggles, or whether it's the other way around. The first study specifically evaluated the effect of social media on eating disorder symptoms and life satisfaction in adolescent girls. So people who reported more pure competition also reported more body dissatisfaction, lower life satisfaction. T v and social media use were not related to body dissatisfaction or eating disorder symptoms. There was a significant correlation between social media use and life satisfaction.
