In today's digitally saturated world, "Social Media Stress" explores the profound impact of platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok on family relationships and individual mental health. This book examines how constant digital connection affects family communication, self-esteem, and overall psychological well-being.

It begins by introducing core concepts and then progresses through the impact on family communication, self-esteem development, and broader mental health consequences.
By integrating diverse methodologies, the book provides a nuanced analysis of digital habits and their effects. Ultimately, it equips readers with practical strategies for managing social media use and promoting healthier digital habits to foster stronger family connections and digital wellbeing.
