This study uses a retrospective approach to explore the intricate relationship between Internet addiction and depression through the perspective of conflict theory. By reviewing current literature on conflict theory, Internet addiction, and depression, it discovers evidence of a bidirectional connection between these two phenomena. Moreover, the research proposes targeted intervention strategies that may offer theoretical backing for mental health and clinical treatments.
