People show large variations in the quantity, emotional, and behavioral attachments of social media usage, and these variations may be associated with different mental health outcomes. The present study aims to identify distinct patterns of social media use and to examine whether certain types of social media use patterns are related to symptoms of depression and anxiety. Future research should seek to develop educational interventions that address social media use patterns rather than single aspects of social media use, such as quantity of social media usage.
