Abstract	The modern digital era has brought significant changes to how individuals interact, work, and entertain themselves. Among the most pronounced shifts is the rise in screen time, primarily through social media and gaming. These digital platforms, while offering new avenues for communication, learning, and entertainment, have raised concerns about their potential negative impacts on mental health and well-being. The excessive use of these platforms has led to questions about their association with anxiety, depression, attention deficits, and social isolation. While screens and digital tools are now integral to modern life, it is essential to understand how they affect psychological functioning. This paper explores the existing literature and empirical evidence surrounding excessive screen time, social media usage, and gaming, analyzing their impacts on mental health and overall well-being.
