  • Evidence reflects both risks and benefits of social media, including enhanced social connectedness and peer support.
  • Relationships between social media use and psychological outcomes are complex, shaped by individual vulnerability factors.
  • Further longitudinal studies are needed to clarify causal pathways and enhance clinical practices related to social media.
