Social media has become an integral part of students' lives, prompting growing concerns regarding its impact on mental health. This study investigates the relationship between social media usage and mental health outcomes among university students. A structured online questionnaire was administered to 54 students from Varna University of Management and Varna University of Economics, employing standardized instruments including the Social Media-Induced Depression Tendency Scale and Mindest Scale to evaluate perceptions of social media's effects on mental well-being. The analysis revealed a significant correlation between increased social media usage and elevated levels of anxiety and feelings of worthlessness, inferiority, or negative behavior. These findings underscore the necessity for targeted interventions aimed at fostering healthy social media habits and effectively addressing the mental health challenges faced by students.
