Re: Depression and TV viewing
Some depressed people may be binge TV watchers, that's true, but it doesn't mean every person who does it is because they are depressed. That sort of research is always questionable.Re: Depression and TV viewing
Re: Depression and TV viewing
I aways get a laugh out of these surveys, everything has to be put into little categories these days, the researchers seem to have little to be doing, people watch what they want to watch so what’s the big deal? I can tell you for nothing and without doing any expensive research that some folks would watch soaps all day while others prefer sports, films, reality shows, quizzes. And heres another fact for the advertisers benefit, we all hate your ads and turn them off every chance we get, it’s that simple, and you can leave the ‘Binge’ word for the drinkers, binge watchers indeed, has a ring to it, like a heavy door slamming, could they not be a bit more original.Re: Depression and TV viewing

I'm not a big tv lover these days. But, I do think if you watch something that really interests you, then you can watch for a while. If I wasn't enjoying it then I'd have restless legs. If I love it then I watch umpteen episodes and it fair cheers me up. Better than a tonicRe: Depression and TV viewing
Re: Depression and TV viewing
I think there is definitely some truth to the study. Sure you might binge watch every once in a while because the show is addicting, that doesn't mean you are depressed.Re: Depression and TV viewing
By the same token, what about all the people who are on their computers nearly 24/7? And what about back in the older days before the internet when TV was all we had?Thread Tools | |
