HealthDay (9/11, Thompson) reports, “Teens who spend more time with social media are more likely to suffer from social withdrawal, anxiety or depression,” research indicated. In the nearly 6,600-adolescent study, 12- “to 15-year-olds who spent more than six hours a day on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other social media were nearly three times more likely to have these types of ‘internalizing’ mental health issues,” researchers found. The findings were published online in JAMA Psychiatry.
