- Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between social connections and the extent of depression. The review has referenced the previous research among multiple countries between the groups of teenagers, elders, and other ages groups. In this work, it has shown that there would be a negative relationship between these two variables, which means the less likely for people to have depression while they have stronger social connection. Depression has been proposed to be an expression of self-helplessness or self-powerlessness. The obsession with helplessness during infancy might contribute to depression [1]. Bullying during adolescence may contribute to depression.
