The Bottom Line on Facebook Depression

1 Facebook, the most popular social media platform, does

not make people more depressed on its own. Instead, what

the research shows is that Facebook – when used as a

surveillance device – leads to a greater risk of feelings of

5 envy. And the more those feelings of envy increase, the more

likely it is for a person to start feeling depressed.

The key to stopping these feelings is to not use Facebook

primarily as a surveillance method to spy on your family and

friends’ lives. Instead, use it as a social network where you

10 share your own information, photos and updates, as well as

consume other’s updates and shares.

Healthy use of Facebook will protect you against the

possibility of feeling more depressed after using it. It’s a

simple thing you can try for yourself – especially if you feel

15 more envious after checking Facebook.
