The Real Harms of Social Media Addiction

Social media platforms are engineered to keep children and young people scrolling, often for hours every day. For some, that compulsive use contributes to serious, lasting harm. These are the injuries we help families and young adults pursue claims for.

Depression & Severe Anxiety

Persistent depression, severe anxiety, and emotional distress that developed or worsened alongside heavy, compulsive use of social media.

Body Dysmorphia

A distorted, harmful preoccupation with appearance, often fueled by filtered images, edited photos, and constant comparison in appearance-driven feeds.

Eating Disorders

Anorexia, bulimia, and other disordered eating linked to appearance-based content, harmful challenges, and algorithms that push them to vulnerable users.

Suicidal Ideation & Self-Harm

Suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, and other forms of physical self-harm connected to compulsive social media use.

Compulsive & Addictive Use

Platforms designed to be habit-forming can drive hours of daily use and a loss of control, despite clear harm to health, school, and family life.

Harm to Children & Teens

Many users were first exposed as children, between roughly ages 5 and 17, when developing minds are especially vulnerable to addictive, engagement-driven design.

These potential harms are based on reported experiences. This is not medical advice. We do not promise outcomes or compensation. Each case is unique and requires individual evaluation.
