This finding has positive implications for revealing the deleterious effects of smartphone addiction on individuals’ advanced cognitive abilities.

How does this connect to smart phone addition having a correlation with depression? Does depression also indicate this type of thing over the long term?

Maybe depressed people are more susceptible to developing smartphone addiction? Maybe they go hand in hand, and then embellish eachother

People seem to think that first you get depressed (as if it was a virus you catch) and then you start to practice unhealthy lifestyle choises, when it's almost always the exact opposite. Major stress (work, school, etc.), unhealthy eating habits, no exercise, constant phone scrolling, etc. and boom, you'll be depressed in no time.

And I'm not blaming the individual here, it's super hard to avoid all of these land mines the modern world has placed in front of us.

Very interesting, thanks.
