A new study tracked screen time – time spent watching TV or using a computer – among 761 Montreal-area subjects in their mid-twenties. While all the subjects spent more time in front of screens than is generally considered healthy, men who had previously self-identified symptoms of depression spent more time using computers than women with the same level of symptoms.
