The pervasive influence of social media on adolescents' lives is evident, with platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok playing a central role in daily interactions and self-expression. While social media offers numerous benefits, including connectivity and information sharing, excessive usage can have detrimental effects on mental health, particularly among adolescents. This study explores the intricate relationship between social media usage and adolescent mental health in Indian Scenario. The study employs a cross-sectional survey design to capture a snapshot of adolescent mental health and social media usage patterns. Data collection involves administering structured questionnaires and the analysis utilizes quantitative methods, including descriptive statistics. Findings from the study aim to provide insights into the current state of adolescent mental health and inform strategies for promoting positive well-being in this population. Additionally, the study underscores the need for further research to better understand the complex interplay between social media and adolescent mental health.
