ABSTRACT
Adolescence, is an important period of social and psychological transformation in which independent reading and writing play a key role must deal with understanding depression resulting from dyslexia. The present study addresses the influences of social media use on mental health among dyslexic adolescents compared to their peers in the general population. The research, which combines surveys and interviews with 13-18 year olds using a mixed-methods approach showed clear differences in social media use and mental health outcomes between the two groups. generalized across dyslexic adolescents, and tailored interventions to enhance positive mental health in this group are urgently needed to address their idiosyncratic challenges of coping within the digital environment. Knowledge of these risk and protective factors can be useful for developing ways in which mental health interventions could target the prevention of a negative impact that social media might have on adolescents with dyslexia.
