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

Trump Vs His Own Administration: ‘New Russia Sanctions..’ Rubio Says Sanctions Could Backfire Hard

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned that imposing new sanctions on Russia could extend the Ukraine conflict by two more years. Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press, Rubio emphasized the critical diplomatic window the US is currently navigating. While President Trump threatened new sanctions, Rubio stressed that Washington is uniquely positioned to broker talks between Kiev and Moscow.
