Many people have become accustomed to using social media as a means of daily communication; this is not an issue as long as social media use is controlled. But if social media begins to consume your mind and time, it becomes an addiction and can lead to issues like severed relationships, a disconnection from reality, low self-esteem, and more.

Social media is designed to release dopamine in the brain, just like any other addictive behavior or habit. If you suspect you may be addicted to social media, it’s advisable to seek addiction therapy focused on social media. Whether you are located in downtown Pinellas Park, the suburbs of Pinellas Park, other nearby places such as Tampa, St. Petersburg, or anywhere else in Florida, Mental Health Match can help you easily find an experienced therapist or counselor who best meets your needs.

Symptoms of Social Media Addiction

If you have a social media addiction, here are some of the symptoms you may experience:

• You think about social media all the time.
• You check your social media first thing in the morning and then all day long.
• When you don’t check your social media notifications, you feel agitated or upset.
• You are so tuned into social media that you ignore things that are going on around you.
• You get in fights with friends and loved ones because of your social media use.
