In today’s article it is not my attempt to dissect the study, but to talk about other reasons – besides cannabis, that could be linked to increase depression among young adults. The study notes increased depression pre-pandemic, especially among young adults. But it hastily credits this to “displacement of in-person social interaction with social media and digital technologies.” While social media overuse can be harmful, the issues depressing youth run far deeper. Not to say it doesn’t play a significant factor in my opinion.
