#SMAD

 

We cannot deny that social media has taken over traditional media in the world today. While this technology has brought many advantages to our lives, it has also created difficulties. Social media anxiety disorder is when an individual allows social media to control their life, and it becomes more of an addiction that can become mentally problematic. Limited use of social media is helpful in avoiding this disorder.

Signs you might have Social Media Anxiety Disorder:

·         Leaving your phone at home, and leaving work to go get it.

·         Taking the phone to the bathroom with you.

·         Constantly checking the phone for new messages or missed calls.

·         Constantly checking to see how many likes you have on FB.

·         Having the phone next to you while you sleep.

·         Constantly checking for new “Tweets” and status updates.
