Social Media Time Linked to Depression | Los Angeles News

Tracking 24,000 people over years, scientists found consistent patterns: more scrolling equals more depressive symptoms, especially with passive engagement. While not entirely new, this large-scale data confirms what many suspected: how you use these platforms matters as much as how much time you spend—and it’s a wake-up call for mindful digital habits, especially for a generation shaped by constant online presence.
