Mental Health Issues from Social Media? You May Be Entitled to Compensation
Social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, and YouTube are being sued for intentionally designing addictive features that can harm users—especially teens and children. These platforms have been linked to serious mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, self-harm, eating disorders, and suicidal ideation.
If you or your child experienced psychological harm due to excessive social media use, you may be eligible to file a claim. Lawsuits allege that major tech companies prioritized profit over user well-being, exploiting vulnerable users through algorithm-driven engagement. Our attorneys can help you pursue justice and financial compensation.
