Checking and scrolling through social media has become an increasingly popular activity over the last decade - with approximately half of the Global population on social media. Although the majority of peoples’ use of social media is non-problematic, there is a small percentage of users that become addicted to social networking sites and engage in excessive or compulsive use. 

But what exactly is Social Media Addiction? In this, the third episode in our "Lets Talk about Mental Health" series, we try to tackle this question. And as people with a presence on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook we want to raise awareness for something that we as Millennials and Gen Z'ers are challenged with on a daily basis.
