Teens who spend more than nine hours on social networking are threatened by depression

The more hours teenagers spend on social networks, the more likely they are to suffer from depression.

Psychologists have blamed social networking as an impact on worsening young people's mental health. The data shows that adolescents average about nine hours of online research.

University of Montreal researchers found that for every extra hour spent on social media or watching television, teen depression symptoms deteriorated. The team of researchers attended young people throughout high school and realized how influential social media was in forming and conscious.

For four years, the research team monitored up to 4,000 teenagers between the ages of 12 and 16. Since the 2000s when social networks appeared, the minds of people in general have also deteriorated.

About 20 percent of people have experienced at least one period of depression until they reach adulthood. Around the world about 100 minutes a teenager commits suicide from depression.
