Cover Story: Experimental interventions have been used to evaluate whether reducing or eliminating social media use decreases depression. This meta-analysis synthesised the results of 10 randomized controlled trials (total number of participants = 1491) to assess the effect of limiting or refraining from social media use on the severity of depressive symptoms. The results indicate that reducing social media use significantly decreases depressive symptoms. Although interventions aimed at reducing use of social media had twice the depression-reduction effect of interventions aimed at abstinence from social media, the difference was not statistically significant. Overall, the results of this meta-analysis suggest that limiting social media use is an effective way to reduce symptoms of depression. View this paper
