Abstract:
With rapid technological advancement, many have questioned the benefits and side effects of social media on a user's psychological health. Research from the western communities found a strong correlation between social media and depression rate. This research further affirms this finding in the Asian counterpart. A study was carried out in Singapore to determine the relationship of social media usage and depression in Asian individuals of different genders and age groups. Our findings show that the higher the usage of social media, the higher the risk of depression, with teenage girls being subjected to the highest risk. An early depression detector is proposed to track and control this risk factor of social media usage.
