npub1x7ptj680lgett27nueqtzxkry29cgaasfwwlrv832ptrxwta5gnqg5s8l4 (npub1x7p…s8l4) No, that's bullshit. The study they cited for that makes it clear that all it found was that such use MIGHT be associated with the higher risk, not that it was causal.
None of the studies show causal.
Also, the study itself admits that it could be a reverse causal situation, with depression & anxiety leading them to use social media more, rather than the other way around.
