A new study found social media use, television viewing and computer use over a four-year period predicted more severe symptoms of anxiety and depression among adolescents.
According to a study published in the Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, researchers observed more than 3,000 seventh to 10th graders in the greater Montreal area over a period of four years. “In terms of the relationship between screen time and depression, what we found was that social media was very robustly related to increases in depressive symptoms, as was television,” she says. “And there was no relationship between video gaming and depressive symptoms.”
