    Internet depression

    There is a strong link between heavy internet use and depression, UK psychologists have said.
    BBC News - 'Internet addiction' linked to depression, says study
    Dr Andrew McCulloch, chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation, pointed out that, in some ways, the internet can be helpful. : To the extent that the internet encourages meaningful friendships and social connections it can be a very good influence on people's lives.
    However, social interaction online should not usually replace an offline social life.

    Evidence suggests that active pursuits such as exercise and socialising with people face-to-face are among the factors that help us stay in good mental health.


    I guess these people never lived in Isaan. There, it's socialising with people that lead you to depression and it's the internet that help you remain sane.
    The things we regret most is the things we didn't do

    Did he get banned?
    I thought he was part of the protected in-crowd over there.

    I have never been in Isaan, but the bolded sentence is so true for so many places that green sent nonetheless.

    Give it another couple of years, even "entertainment" wears thin when it's constantly repeated

    Guess this all depends on pre-dispositions, interpretations, and individual perspectives. Socially engineered cognitive designs derive themselves in a variety of fashions......vacant of comparatives and superlatives. Every one situation is never the duplicated.

    Many depressed people are drawn to the internet more rather than the internet causing depression.

    I find social events where you are meant to make small talk with people you don't really know unbearable sober (if I go to a debate group or play a few hands of a complex game of cards I am ok cuz there is something to talk about) but I can chat about shit with strangers all day on the net and it isn't the case of me being a "radio face"

    They champion falsehood, support the butcher against the victim, the oppressor against the innocent child. May God mete them the punishment they deserve

    I didnt mind RS when he used to speak some sense.
    But now he tries to act the ultra intellectual he really only succeeds in making a big dill of himself.
