I'm trying to avoid Facebook as much as possible. Partly because it cuts into productivity. (The "rabbit hole" effect, where a few seconds of reading a blurb lead to a longer article or video...) But I also do believe the gist of that study which claimed that people feel more depressed after using Facebook. If you're craving human contact, visiting Facebook is a temporary distraction at best -- and the second you leave, you're no better off than you were before. In fact you probably feel worse, because now that temporary distraction is also suddenly gone....
