Social media addiction is a type of behavioral addiction brought on by compulsive engagement in social media platforms. It is so compulsive that it interferes with a person’s ability to meet responsibilities, engage in relationships, and meet other objectives. It is a condition that still requires significant research to understand why it occurs fully, but for those who it is impacting, it creates a negative impact on life in some way.
How can social media impact your mental health and physical well-being? As a social creature, humans are naturally drawn to tools that allow them to connect with others. However, the interactions that happen on social media are not authentic relationships. They are often implicated in the development of self-esteem issues in teens and younger.

How has the use of social media impacted your life? To qualify to file a lawsuit against a social media company, you will need to be able to document what is happening to you and why you believe that company caused it.
For example, you may be able to document that you are suffering addiction-related injuries, including body dysmorphia, low self-esteem, suicidal ideation, and depression. You will need to demonstrate how the use of social media is to blame for this, such as what your habits are, the lack of warnings about such risks, and the actions you take.
In addition, you will need to document losses. You must show the court that this type of constant use of social media has led to changes in your life that are negative.
If you feel you are suffering from social media addiction, contact an attorney to discuss your case. It is critical that you develop a clear claim that outlines all of your losses and clearly demonstrates why you believe the other party is to blame.
If there are class action lawsuits that apply in your situation, let your attorney help you to navigate those.
