Spending too much time scrolling through social media and watching more television has been linked with symptoms of depression in young people -- and a new study reveals to what extent screen time and depression may be intertwined.
Link between social media and depression stronger in teen girls than boys, study says"To our knowledge, the present study is the first to present a developmental analysis of variations in depression and various types of screen time," the researchers wrote.The study included 3,826 students in seventh to 11th grade from 31 schools in the Montreal area in Canada.
Study: Social media increases depression 06:31The study had some limitations, including that only associations between screen time and depression were found.
One tip is to set up a charging station in the home, he said, so cell phones are not charged in the bedroom, which can lead to distractions and sleep interruptions."Get an alarm clock, so the kid doesn't use their phone as an alarm, and really limit that nighttime usage, because we know sleep affects mood and everything else," Maslow said."It's a balance, because there are benefits to engagement with media.
