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
Conflict Avoidance, Can Have a Huge Impact on Relationships.
NBC's 'Think' report highlights a growing
trend of conflict avoidance across a wide
spectrum of interpersonal relationships.
This ranges from "ghosting" friends
and lovers to "quiet quitting" a job. .
Conflict avoidance often serves as an excuse
for avoiding the maintenance that both private
and professional relationships require. .
This avoidance can have long-term impacts, including
lowered resilience, mental health and productivity. .
According to a national survey by Cornell University psychologist
and gerontologist Karl Pillemer, 27% of Americans over the
age of 18 have cut contact with at least one family member. .

NBC highlights the many reasons which appear to
be responsible for growing conflict avoidance.
One of those reasons is modern communications, combined
with an increasing distrust for others, which makes
tuning out people you disagree with an easy option.

Scientists Warn of Link Between, Fluoride , and Negative Health Outcomes
When Pregnant .
'Newsweek' reports that scientists have urged expectant mothers
not to drink unfiltered tap water, exposing a link between
exposure to fluoride and disruptions in fetal brain development. .
'Newsweek' reports that scientists have urged expectant mothers
not to drink unfiltered tap water, exposing a link between
exposure to fluoride and disruptions in fetal brain development. .
In 1962, the United States Public Health Service
(USPHS) recommended that public water contain
fluoride in an effort to prevent tooth decay. .
As a result, 3 in 4 Americans
receive water that has been
fortified with fluoride. .
While the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and the USPHS say fluoride
consumption at levels set by the government are safe.
opponents to the fluoridation of the water supply argue that
potential health impacts of even low level fluoride exposure
have been identified, particularly for developing fetuses. .
opponents to the fluoridation of the water supply argue that
potential health impacts of even low level fluoride exposure
have been identified, particularly for developing fetuses. .
According to a new study, maternal fluoride exposure
was associated with a near-doubling increase in
the risk of the child developing neurobehavioral problems.
The team's findings were published
in the journal 'JAMA Network Open.'.
These neurobehavioral problems
include emotional reactivity, headaches,
anxiety and symptoms linked to autism.
Our results showed that higher
fluoride levels in mother's urine were
associated with significantly increased neurodevelopmental problems in their
three-year-old children, especially
for internalizing problems
like depression and anxiety, Tracy Bastain, Associate professor of clinical population and public
health science and senior author of the study, via Newsweek.

These results are very concerning
from a public health perspective,
given that the majority of U.S.
communities have fluoridated water, Tracy Bastain, Associate professor of clinical population and public

'Newsweek' reports that the authors of the study say more
research is "urgently needed" in order to better understand
the implications of these findings on public health.
