Students frequently use social media for communication and enjoyment, but it also has an impact on their mental health. This study looks into how students and young adults in the Coimbatore district use social media. 121 individuals provided information using a standardised questionnaire. For analysis, methods like correlation, chi-square testing, and rank analysis were employed. The results indicate that two of the main consequences of social media use are emotional attachment and mental fatigue. Time spent on social media and occupation were found to be significantly correlated. The study finds that excessive social media use can have an adverse effect on mental health and emphasises the importance of mental health awareness and moderate usage.

This study analyses the effects of social media on mental health among respondents in Coimbatore using multiple statistical methods. While loneliness has a minor but significant impact, the results indicate that occupation and emotional attachment have a strong influence on time spent online. There were also differences between groups in terms of experiences like loneliness, guilt, FOMO, and mental health awareness. In order to safeguard wellbeing, the results emphasise the necessity of using social media with awareness and moderation.
