When a depressed person turns to the Internet to socialize, I’m not at all surprised that they use it for social interaction in chat rooms and on social networking websites. What else would you expect? People who are depressed don’t want to socialize, but the Internet makes it so much easier to do it. It may make a depressed individual feel more “connected” and help them make it throug...

Why the 140 character limit? So you can send text updates from your cell phone as well as the net. If you haven’t used or even heard of Twitter, don’t worry, you’re not alone. As of now, only 11 percent of American Internet users have used something like Twitter (that number also includes people who simply update their status in Facebook, so we don’t know the true, lower number of Twitter-only users) (Lenhart & Fox, 2009).

That would include diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, autism, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, migraines, chronic back pain, eating disorders, multiple sclerosis and mental illness, just to name a few.Actually over 95% of chronic illness is invisible.
