Integrated psychiatry and mental health support
Social media addiction often co-occurs with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or loneliness, as compulsive use can become a form of self-soothing.
Through our partnership with Neuro Wellness Spa, psychiatric support is available, including therapy, evaluation, and medication when needed to address underlying conditions.
What is social media addiction?
Social media addiction is a behavioral addiction marked by compulsive use of platforms like Instagram, TikTok, or Snapchat despite negative effects. It may show up as staying up all night online, “doom scrolling”, neglecting relationships, or feeling anxious without your phone.
Signs and risks of social media addiction
Most signs of social media addiction are clear, while others are less obvious.
Here are some key signs and symptoms to watch for:
Behavioral signs:
- Spending a lot of time online
