Facebook Depression

New Illness: Facebook Depression? - ReadWriteWeb

This may sound like a joke, but it's not: researchers at Stony Brook University
in New York have found that too much Facebook usage can leave you more
prone to anxiety and depression...that is, if you're a teenage girl. In

professor Dr. Joanne Davila and her colleague, Lisa Starr. A year
later, the researchers followed up with the girls, testing them for
depressive symptoms.
