Your Instagram feed can tell if you’re depressed: study

  • 8 years ago
People who post greyer or darker coloured pictures on Instagram are more likely to be depressed compared to those who upload images with vibrant hues, scientists say.
Researchers also noted that Valencia was used more by non-depressed individuals, as it lightens photos.
The data analysis threw up some curious observations, too.
Photographs that humans rated as happy or sad were only weakly correlated with depression.
