When I worked for a research lab for a university attached to a hospital, facebook usage was highly correlated with diagnosed depression. it was unclear whether depressed people used facebook more, or using facebook more caused depression.

the correlations with facebook usage and other illnesses was weak, but depression was not.



Speaking from experience - the former.
