I wonder what is the impact of social media in this rate increase. People are getting more and more addicted to it, thus making people more depressed about their lives which in turn find their relief in drugs and alcohol. I am not saying that social media is to blame for everything but as a former heavy user of Snapchat and Instagram, it must be up there as one of the main causes. The sad and hopeless part is that its all by design...

> I'm in a similar position, and actually found I had more interaction with family once I got off facebook.

I completely agree. I used to be a heavy user of Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat for years and I have been off all those platforms for 14 months now and I noticed that I am more in touch with friends and family than never before and most of them live abroad with at least 6 hours difference!

>Before Facebook, if I lost someone's contact information, and drifted outside of their social circle for a long enough time, chances were I would never ever see or speak to that person again.

And chances are you are never going to speak to that person again even if you are friends on facebook.

The only thing that facebook invented is how to increase user engagement by finding loopholes in our psychology and get us addicted to their products.

Facebook did not invent anything other than making this world more chaotic.
