Study Links Social Media Use With Depression in Adults

Study Links Social Media Use , With Depression in Adults.

NBC reports that while social media has been linked to anxiety and depression in teens, another study suggests that adults are also susceptible.

.

The research was published in 'JAMA Network Open.'

.

The study was reportedly based on surveys of 5,395 adults with an average age of 56.

.

According to NBC, the study was meant to shed light on how adults coped amid the pandemic.

.

We were asking people who weren't depressed about their social media use.

Then we came back later to see if the people who were using certain kinds of social media were more likely to be depressed, Dr. Roy Perlis, one of the studyā€™s authors, via NBC.

The study found that adults on platforms like Facebook, TikTok and Snapchat , "were substantially more likely to come back and tell us they felt depressed the next time they filled out the survey.".

NBC points out that while the study does not prove that social media causes depression, it highlights a growing mental health crisis in the United States.

.

In an October 2021 study, almost one-third of adults in the U.S. reported feeling depressed, up from just 8.5% before COVID.

It is recommended to be mindful of how much time you spend on social media.

The programs are designed to keep you on as long as possible.

Try to be aware of how much time you're spending on them, Mitch Prinstein, chief science officer for the American Psychological Association, via NBC

The case revolved around whether an individual can be forced to pay taxes on investments in foreign-owned companies regardless of if they were a source of income. According to the 16th Amendment of the Constitution, Congress has the power to "collect taxes on incomes.". In the case, Charles and Kathleen Moore claim they were unfairly taxed on their $40,000 investment in an India-based company called KisanKraft Machine Tools. . While the company made a profit, the Moores claim that they received no dividends and that the money was reinvested in the business. As a result, the Moores did not pay taxes between 2006 and 2017 on what the U.S. government later defined as income from their investment. . Due to a provision that was part of a major tax law enacted by former President Donald Trump in 2017, the Moores paid $15,000 in additional taxes. They later sought a refund for that payment, arguing that they had been unlawfully taxed based on an increase in the value of a capital investment not qualifying as income. The couple's challenge was rejected by the Supreme Court 7-2
