Several studies have shown that many forms of social media are often used excessively and can become addictive (Social Media Addiction). About 10% of respondents reported disordered social media use in a 2014 study by the University at Albany, SUNY (McGrath). Another study found that "disordered use of online social networks was present in 9.7% of the surveyed sample, and significantly and positively associated with scores on the Young Internet Addiction Test, greater difficulties with emotion regulation and alcohol consumption problems” (Hormes). The likelihood that a person with an addictive personality disorder will develop an addiction to social media is particularly high because these individuals most likely possess a "symptom cluster of poor emotion regulation skills and increased susceptibility to both social media addiction." substance and a non-substance” (Hormes). Compulsive use of social media sites can lead to “the same type of changes in people's brains as those caused by drug addiction” (Social Media Addiction). There are many examples of people becoming addicted to social media, like Krishnan (name changed), a 15-year-old social media addict, who spent almost 16 hours a day on Facebook (Caution). Krishnan “developed an obsessive personality profile and neglected life priorities, including education” (Caution). Dr Sameer Malhotra, Director, Mental Health and Behavioral Sciences at
