Is Facebook Making You Sad?

According to a new study from Yale University and University of California, San Diego (UCSD) accessing the social media platform more than those who use it occasionally or at irregular intervals makes you more unhappy.

From 2013 to 2015, the researchers studied the Facebook use and mental health of 5,208 volunteers.

After analysing the data that they found, they found that the over use of the social networking site is tightly linked with social, physical and psychological health.
