I found a scholarly article titled “Predicting Depression via Social Media” by Munmun De Choudhury. It provides an in depth analysis on the relationship between depression and social media usage. The author stated “The emotion and language used in social media postings may indicate feelings of worthlessness, guilt, helplessness, and self-hatred that characterize major depression. Additionally, depression sufferers often withdraw from social situations and activities. Such changes in activity might be salient with changes in activity on social media.” This shows that people are so heavily involved with social media that whatever happens on there affects their actual lives and the distinction between the two is getting more difficult to notice. The author brings up many valid points and has many important findings which are important because they show the correlation between the two and all the possible ways MDD (Major Depressive Disorder) is caused. I learned a bunch of new information and terms just from this one article. It really gave me an in-depth view of the medical aspects of clinical depression and it’s relationship to social media which I think is great to have for the essay
