Depression in young adults has increased over the years , one of this factor is social media which I can proceed on this very topic. Social media has affected young people because they are exposed to many things for example , a young girl will see other young girls same age as her accomplishing things that seem so far and hard to reach in her life , things like cars , apartment and latest fashion , that girl begin to question herself and not feel as if she is good enough and she should be doing more to reach that very height , but truth is social media is not always what it seem and sometimes far from reality . It makes young adults believe in quick money and lack patience which affects society because only a few is willing to wait and be patient and to take their time build their dreams. Social media is a platform both good and bad , they are many opportunities but young people just want to gain not to learn but to gain that car , new apartment and latest fashion and when they are unable to get that , that is where depression kicks in , no longer believing in one's self , the feeling of not being good enough, sleepless nights , negative thought which leads to negative actions , losing self value to gain materialistic things and the list goes on . Depression is a serious problem and the percentage of depress people grows by the minute .
Depression is a medical illness that negatively impact they way you think, feel and act
