THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TIME SPENT ON SOCIAL NETWORKS AND THE LEVEL OF ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION IN ADOLESCENTS

Abstract

People, from birth to old age, need each other to have a healthy lifestyle, to develop and to reach their full potential. This developmental process materializes following the influence of an important factor: socialization. Adolescence is a period of transition from the infantile, immature, and disorganized person to the one with an organized and complex thinking, when the young person forms his own identity, independent of the family, with a significant role in the development of the adult. This period is the most difficult, enhanced by both internal and external conflicts, emotional instability and increased lability of emotions, frequently moving from one state to another
