Why Anxious Teens Scroll More

Turns out, teens with anxiety or depression aren’t just spending more time on social media—they’re also feeling worse about their online friendships. A new study found these teens spend nearly an hour extra online daily, compare themselves to others way more, and feel their moods swing with every like or comment. Even though they try to build bigger friend circles, they end up less satisfied. It’s not just about screen time—it’s about how scrolling makes them feel. #Health #MentalHealth #TeenMentalHealth
