When yung, I lved ging n trail（小路） runs. It was my favrite way t escape stress. S, when I was back in my hmetwn after a tugh first year f my Ph. D. prgram, I thught a trail run was just what I needed. But instead f helping me relax, the run did just the ppsite.

University f Pennsylvania researchers say that fr the first time they have linked scial media use t increases in depressin and lneliness． The idea that scial media is anything but scial when it cmes t mental health has been talked abut fr years， but nt many studies have managed t actually link the tw． T d that， Penn researchers， led by psychlgist Melissa Hunt， designed a study that fcused n WeChat， Snapchat and Instagram．

Scial media invites what Hunt calls "dwnward scial cmparisn．" "When yu're nline， it can smetimes seem that everyne else is cler and having mre fun and included in mre things and yu're left ut，" Hunt said． And that's just generally discuraging． "Every minute yu spend nline is a minute yu are nt ding yur wrk r nt meeting a friend fr dinner r having a deep cnversatin with yur rmmate．" And these real life activities are the nes that can encurage self﹣esteem and self﹣wrth， Hunt added．
"Peple are n their devices， and that's nt ging t change，" she said． But as in life， a bit f cntrl ges a lng way．
