According to a study issued by the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, said that teens who spend most time listening to music are more likely to suffer from depression than children who choose to spend their time in reading.
The study included 106 participants, and added new evidence to a growing evidence that the media are linked to mental health. Over the past two months, the researchers called the participants in the study dozens of times and asked them to report the types of media were used including music, television and video games, Internet, magazines and books.
It was what they found is that adolescents who spent most of their time in listening to music were 8.3 times more susceptible to depression. On the other hand, the probability that people who have spent most of their time reading books in the depression of one to ten.

 
Dr. Briaqn Primack, assistant professor of medicine and pediatrics in the Faculty of Pitt's of Medicine, who led the study, said in a press statement: "At this point, is not clear whether people are depressed they start to listen to more music as a kind of escape, or whether listen to large amounts of music can lead to depression, or both. In both cases, these results may help doctors and parents to identify the links between media and depression. "
He added, "It is also important to be reading associated with smaller proportions of depression, and this result should be emphasized, since reading the books in the current year in the United States is declining, while almost all forms of use and other media on the rise."

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, depression is the main reason for the deficit, and is believed to affect one out of 12 adolescents in the United States.

The study was published in the April issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
