In this passage I know that In recent years, anxiety, depression, and damaged self-esteem have been on the rise among teenagers (especially girls). Meta's internal research shows a "perceived impact" rather than a clear "causal mechanism." For example, Meta's research asked teenagers, "How do you feel Instagram has affected your emotions?", rather than using a randomized controlled trial to measure it. Therefore, I think it's difficult to measure the specific effects and how they occur, because it's a very personal and emotional question. Therefore, one crucial detail remains unclear: whether "social media causes mental health problems" or "teenagers with mental health issues are more likely to use social media."
