Depressed people can experience unrealistic negative thoughts. Social media can spread such cognitive distortions, but a short training on how to identify distorted posts drastically reduces interactions with distorted content. In PNAS Nexus: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

Examples of distorted and non-distorted tweets used in the experiment:
Distorted: “I'll never find love. I'm just not good enough for anyone.”; “I'll never be able to handle the morning rush hour. I'm just not a good enough driver.”; “Finances are tight and I'll never be able to get ahead.” Non-Distorted: “The new phone I just bought is disappointing. It's slow, the battery drains quickly and the camera is subpar.”; “This weather has been stormy. It's been raining non-stop for days and I do not like it.”; “Bad luck is a part of life, but it's important to persevere.”
