Social restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on the mental health of youth. We analyzed a sample of 274 adolescents and young adults that participated in an online survey. We used the Brief Symptom Inventory 18 (BSI 18) and the Perceived Stress Scale to assess mental health status. Furthermore, we assessed the frequency and intensity of social media use in all participants. More than 50 % of the adolescents and young adults reported clinically relevant scores for somatization, depression, anxiety, and perceived stress. Females had significantly higher mental health burdens than males. Although adolescents used social media more frequently and intensely than young adults, the results showed no correlation with psychopathology. Young adults had significantly higher scores compared to adolescents in somatization, depression, and perceived stress the more time they spent on social media. Our results emphasise that frequency and intensity of social media use alone were not associated with worsemental health.However, the adverse effects of socialmedia use have to be considered carefully. |
