Facebook Depression?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42298789/ns/health-mental_health/There is a new term in the medical profession called, "Facebook Depression" and it's becoming a term frequently used by those in the psychological profession. This new phenomena is associated with those involved on social media networking sites and affecting troubled teens who obsess with the online social sites. Studies are not conclusive as to weather it's an extension of depression or low self esteem that kids already have or if the depression is brought on by the navigation and browsing through the social media links searching and viewing activities which peers are involved. Many of the up close photos show happy smiling having a good time faces leaving the viewer feeling left-out and isolated with low self-worth. These isolated feelings can be similar to a person sitting alone in a crowded cafeteria or other real-life situations which can make kids feel bad. People need to understand that Facebook, as well as other social networking sites-are virtual worlds that don't display the real, true emotions. Basically the things you view are one dimensional and can distort the truth.
