How to write Objective, Overarching Synthesis of Research Evidence from below paragraph

The three articles consistently demonstrated a correlation between social media use and depression, with increased use linked to a higher likelihood of developing depression symptoms in adults, schoolchildren, and university students in Afghanistan (Aydin et al., 2021; Haand & Shuwang, 2020; Hjetland et al., 2021). These findings emphasized the need to consider age, context, and methodology when studying the relationship between social media addiction, depression, and addiction across diverse populations and perspectives. This highlighted the universal link between social media use and mental health issues across various age groups and circumstances (Aydin et al., 2021; Haand & Shuwang, 2020; Hjetland et al., 2021).

Addiction to social media has a detrimental effect on mental health, making those struggling with addiction more vulnerable to mental health problems, especially despair (Aydin et al., 2021; Haand & Shuwang, 2020; Hjetland et al., 2021). Aydin et al (2021) study found a correlation between social media addiction and depression but found that social media addiction did not induce depression. Hjetland et al. (2021), study highlighted the negative impacts of social media, such as mental health problems, unrealistic expectations, and negative interpersonal consequences. Hand and Shuwang (2020), found that patients with depression exhibited symptoms of social media addiction, increasing isolation. The results underscore the need for a comprehensive understanding of the possible effects of social media use on mental health and call for more research and awareness in both academic and real-world settings.
