Internet usage time tied to teen depression - Health News - IBNLive

Internet usage time tied to teen depression - Health News - IBNLive: "Spending time online is normal behavior for teenagers. But too much Internet use by teens - or too little, for that matter - might be related to depression, a new study finds.
The findings, reported in the journal of Pediatrics, do not mean that the Internet is to blame. For one, teens in the study who spent no time online were also at increased risk of depression symptoms.
Instead, the researchers say that both heavy Internet use, and non-use, could serve as signals that a teenager is having a hard time."
