Inflammation may also come from physical isolation. There have been studies that lack of physical contact promotes a sort of "hunger" that has to be satisfied or else becomes destructive. Socio-physical contact rebalances some chemicals that satiate it. I wonder if this yearning causes an immune response. In case of social media, if this is what happens, the feedback loop is extremely obvious: the offer of some social contact while operating in actual complete physical isolation. This is a sort of a closed circuit, a thing that creates the need for itself.
