I think it depends what you're doing on the screen. Unfortunately, people no longer seem to distinguish between activities such as 'endlessly scrolling through Twitter' and 'making music in Ableton'. It's all just 'screen time', and it's bad for your mental health.

It says [0] the question excluded computer hours at work. Which seems bizarre in itself and to address the title, but does go quite some way to your point. (Most people's recreational computer time, I dare say, is 'mindless Twitter scrolling' and the like.) And as a more general point, it's looking at 'history of major depressive disorder (MDD)' or not, not merely feeling a bit glum. I don't think the takeaway is supposed to be a tabloid-style 'avoid screen or become suicide risk', it's more like lifestyle choices you can make to maybe mitigate an issue you already present with. (IANA GP/psychologist/anything relevant, though.) [0]: https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12916-020-01813-5 https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s1291...
