According to a recent study conducted by the University Of Pittsburgh School Of Medicine, teenagers who spent the majority of their time listening to music were 8.3 times more likely to be depressed. However, teenagers who spent time reading books were one-tenth as likely to suffer from depression.
It is unclear whether already depressed people listen to large amounts of music or listening to music leads to depression. However, this study shows the importance of recognizing the correlation between media and depression.
This research gives insight into the growing issue of depression in teens. It is estimated that depression affects one in twelve teenagers.
