New study reveals high depression rate among teens
New study has revealed that a number of teenagers who feel unhappy with their lives has doubled in the past decade, and depression rates have risen significantly. Psychologists believe that social media is a major factor in this increase.
Nearly half of teens now say that they can’t do anything right and that they don’t enjoy life. This is twice as many as a decade ago. Dr. Jean Twenge, a psychologist at San Diego State University, says that social media and screen time are the primary causes of this increase in teen depression. She believes that smartphones have been the biggest change in teenagers’ lives in recent years, and that they are leading to more social isolation and anxiety.
Experts are calling for radical solutions to address this growing problem. Some have suggested raising the minimum social media age to 16, while others have called for more education about the dangers of social media. It is clear that something needs to be done to help protect teenagers from the harmful effects of social media.
