The basic role of this survey is to give an outline of the mental, mental, and social results corresponded with a hazardous utilization of web-based entertainment locales during the formative stages, from age 10 to 19 years. The review discusses evidence related to genetic and neurobiological issues, as well as the implications for clinical work and future directions from a multidisciplinary perspective, with a specific focus on depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Although the scientific community has made significant progress in understanding how teenagers’ use of social media affects their lives, more research that incorporates biological and environmental factors is needed to fully understand how these disorders develop.
