Social Media and Delusional Disorders

Abstract:

A study by Crespi and Yang links high social media use to delusional disorders like narcissism and body dysmorphia. Platforms encourage distorted self-perceptions by enabling unrealistic self-presentation. Without real-life interactions for “reality checking,” social media reinforces false beliefs, worsening identity-related disorders. The research highlights overlooked psychological risks.
