Social Media causes serious social and mental health issues, including anxiety, isolation, depression, sleep deprivation, cyber-bullying, body image issues, reduced attention span, reduced productivity and distorted reality perception.  What is more, it is specifically designed to be addictive and it is particularly harmful to children and young adults.
