Comment on Mentally-passive sedentary activities linked to 43% higher depression risk

Comments

Researchers have observed that less mentally-demanding activity during sedentary behavior induces a higher risk of depression

"induces" clearly implies causality. This is not true, the research only found association. Awful. These articles are at the point now where they just outright lie

Exactly. As someone with chronic fatigue I can vouch that brain-dead sedentary activity is what I go for whenever I'm having an extra bad day, because of the extra bad day.

Being sedentary absolutely does worsen my state, too, but let's be honest you're not gonna do much else when you're dying of exhaustion and malaise.
