Importance of professional help to overcome social media addiction 

The urge to spend several hours on social networking platforms often arises from underlying mental health issues like anxiety, depression, etc.

Behavioral therapists can help you break free from your addiction and inspire you to embrace a healthier and satisfying lifestyle. Besides, you can heal and recover with the support of peers battling with similar issues.

Impact of social media on mental health

There is a strong connection between excessive social media use and low self-esteem, leading to negative mental health effects. Spending several hours a day on social media platforms can cause you to feel unhappy and isolated. 

Besides, social media platforms make their users see curated content in the form of advertisements and posts, which may appeal specifically to your interests. This can further contribute to supporting your social media spree, making you waste your time doing pretty much nothing. If you suffer from social media addiction, join a behavioral addiction treatment center at the earliest.

Overcoming social media addiction on your own vs. receiving professional help

Engaging in excessive or compulsive use of social networking sites is a behavioral addiction, and you must seek help to break free from it. Signing up for a Facebook addiction treatment may offer an array of benefits compared to quitting it on your own. Some of the core advantages of professional social media addiction treatment include:

• Your brain rewires itself through continuous positive reinforcement, sending waves of dopamine along the reward pathways and causing you to feel pleasure whenever you use social networking websites. Psychiatrists and behavioral therapists can correct these imbalances and help you break free from social media addiction successfully. If you chose to quit on your own, the endless amount of immediate rewards associated with social media use could make it impossible for you to stop or limit your behavior.
• You can learn critical coping mechanisms and life skills to overcome cravings, triggers, and stressful situations that cause you to use social media. Our therapists also help clients learn essential mental exercises to relieve stress, loneliness, and depression and lead a healthy and fulfilling life without turning to social media for immediate rewards.
• Seeking professional treatment can provide you with access to a network of communal support and allow you to heal and recover with peer support. It can also help you build valuable bonds and friendships with fellow recovering addicts, which can help you stay sober in the long term.
