Study Links Social Media Use With Depression in Adults
Study Links Social Media Use , With Depression in Adults.
NBC reports that while social media has been linked
to anxiety and depression in teens, another study
suggests that adults are also susceptible.
.
The research was published
in 'JAMA Network Open.'
.
The study was reportedly based on surveys
of 5,395 adults with an average age of 56.
.
According to NBC, the study was meant to shed light on how adults coped amid the pandemic.
.
We were asking people who weren't
depressed about their social media
use.
Then we came back later to
see if the people who were using
certain kinds of social media were
more likely to be depressed, Dr. Roy Perlis, one of the study’s authors, via NBC.
The study found that adults on platforms
like Facebook, TikTok and Snapchat , "were substantially more likely to come back and tell us they felt depressed the next time they filled out the survey.".
NBC points out that while the study does not prove that social media causes depression, it highlights a growing mental health crisis in the United States.
.
In an October 2021 study, almost one-third of adults
in the U.S. reported feeling depressed,
up from just 8.5% before COVID.
It is recommended to
be mindful of how much
time you spend on
social media.
The programs are designed to
keep you on as long as possible.
Try to be aware of how much
time you're spending on them, Mitch Prinstein, chief science officer for the
American Psychological Association, via NBC
During an Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Donald Trump lashed out at NBC’s Peter Alexander over a question about a $400 million private jet gifted by Qatar. Instead, Trump redirected the conversation to what he claimed was the “genocide” of white South African farmers, presenting a controversial video and accusing Alexander of ignoring white suffering. The tense moment highlighted Trump’s continued push on racially charged narratives, refugee decisions, and diplomatic theatrics involving U.S. allies and global perception.

The US is reportedly considering relocating up to one million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya, NBC reported, citing sources. In return, Washington may unfreeze $30 billion in Libyan funds. The plan has sparked outrage, with critics calling it a violation of international law and Palestinian rights. Libya remains unstable with rival governments vying for power. The Trump administration has denied the claim, calling it “untrue.” Discussions allegedly included Israeli and Libyan leadership, but no final deal has been reached. Human rights groups have condemned the potential displacement.

India has crossed 7,000 active COVID-19 cases, with Kerala reporting the highest spike and three new deaths. The XFG variant, a sub-lineage of Omicron with strong immune evasion, has been detected across the country, raising global alarm. Originating in Canada, the variant carries four spike protein mutations. Globally, SARS-CoV-2 activity is rising, especially in South-East Asia and Eastern Mediterranean regions, with test positivity rates matching last year’s peak. WHO continues to monitor the spread amid poor ICU and hospitalization data from heavily affected regions.
