Yeşilay Warns: Uncontrolled Social Media Use Threatens Mental Health and Cognitive Functions

The Relationship Between Social Media and Cognitive Functions A new study published in Addicta, an international peer-reviewed journal by Yeşilay, has examined the effects of uncontrolled social media use on individuals' mental health and cognitive abilities.
Research data indicates that uncontrolled time spent on digital platforms directly impacts mental performance and the ability to focus.
Experts emphasize that a culture of digital balance must be strengthened, particularly among young people, highlighting the critical role of guidance from families and educators in this process.
To maintain a healthy digital life, experts recommend creating early awareness and setting reasonable limits on daily usage times.
