Internet addiction' linked to depression, says study

Any direct causal link between internet use and depression remains unclear

There is a strong link between heavy internet use and depression, UK psychologists have said.

The study, reported in the journal Psychopathology, found 1.2% of people surveyed were "internet addicts", and many of these were depressed.

The Leeds University team stressed they could not say one necessarily caused the other, and that most internet users did not suffer mental health problems.

The conclusions were based on 1,319 responses to an on-line questionnaire.

Recruitment was via links on social networking sites. People were asked how much they used the internet and for what purposes.

They were also asked a series of questions to assess whether they suffered from depression.

This story is so depressing

Why did they need research to show that people who spend an excessive amount of time in front of their computers would be prone to depression?

If you spend a massive bulk of your 24 hours in front of any one medium (sept boobs, AMIRITE??/ :pac: ) you're probably gonna be depressed.

Ah I dunno, it made the reveal a bit more exciting - the picture slowly crawling down being undercovered bit by bit.

There should be a website that provides this facility.

Not surprised! If you spent your whole day reading some of the threads around here, you'd suffer from depression too!

In other news...
Depressed people, devoid of a social life, use the internet a lot.

Of course they're depressed. They've spent so much time online that there's literally no more new porn left to look at. I think this happened to me around 2007.

Surely you've never seen hot broccoli smelling rain before so how could anyone be fooled into thinking a stream of piss on their back was in fact rain?
