Healio (2/22, Gramigna) reports, “Adolescents with depression were more physiologically reactive to acute social media use vs. controls,” investigators concluded in a study that “collected data via baseline clinical assessment of 30 depressed adolescents and 30 health control adolescents who abstained from social media use for 24 hours or longer.” The findings of the “prospective, cross-sectional study” were published online ahead of print in the April issue of the Journal of Psychiatric Research.
