The impetus behind this paper is to map the literature on the impact of social media on adolescents’ mental health through a psychological perspective, using data from original papers published from 2016 to 2021 using bibliometric analysis. The key findings include A) social media causes problems such as anxiety, depression, body image issues, and FoMo. B) The use of social media has exponentially increased over the past 5 years. C) Past studies have only addressed platforms. But, the implications of social media on social interactions is a field still open to study. The implications E-counseling has on mental health is also a study with potential.
