Social Connection May Be Strongest Protection Against Depression
Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have found that social connection may be the strongest protective factor against depression, and suggest that reducing sedentary activities such as TV watching and daytime napping could also help reduce the risk of depression.
The team identified a set of modifiable factors from a field of more than 100 that could represent valuable targets for preventing depression in adults.
The findings are published in The American Journal of Psychiatry.
