  Correlation is not causation

  I just came to hate sunlight because it’s usually full of other people nearby. So, if I’m depression, other people are to blame.

  It’s almost like there’s more acceptance that mental health is real health, but no it’s the evil checks notes sunscreen that’s making me sad. Not the existential nightmare that life currently is, not the constant feed of negative news that’s coming from the computer that is basically another appendage. Correlation != Causation. Could it be a contributing factor? Yeah probably, feeling the sun on your face does lift my mood, but I can point to countless other causes that are way more relevant. If you really want to figure out the causes, go see a therapist, they’re great at helping out your feelings into words you can actually act upon. When if you don’t have anything you’re trying to figure out about yourself, go see a therapist, it’s like getting a yearly physical just check in to make sure there’s nothing wrong.

    Did you know there’s a direct correlation between the rise of violent crime and the decline of spirograph use? Think about it.

  I avoid the sun and just take a vitamin D supplement.

    Make sure you have a doctor monitor you with regular blood tests. Supplementing vitamin D can lead to dangerous levels of calcium in the blood.

  It also corresponds to the increasingly likely outcome that the biosphere will collapse due to the wonton usage of fossil fuels.

    What?

    Vitamin D is something we don’t get much of from a modern diet, and we need a substantial amount to make very important neurotransmitters, the lack of which causes depression…

    Like, that’s a real scientific thing we’ve known for decades.

    pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9468237/

    A correlation with increase use of sunblock, I’m not really sure of. I’d assume it’s more that people spend substantially less time in the sun in general regardless of UV blocking.

    It was a meme in the Navy, if anyone looked sad or mentioned depression while out to see, the first fucking thing everyone said was “drink more milk” because they put a shit ton of vitamin D in the milk for that reason.

    The second was usually “smoke more cigarettes” tho, because most of the time to smoke you had to go stand on a deck in the sun.

    But especially for /shower thoughts, there’s not a lot to judge OP on here. It’s pretty accurate and something that someone very well could have just realized one day

      OP is trying to link sun screen usage to depression. OP is an idiot.

  Increasing diagnoses of depression, not depression itself.

• AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Sure… but everything that’s been trending steadily upward over the last 50 years correlates with everything else that’s been doing the same.

  To suggest causation, we’d need to find differences in rates of sunscreen use between locations, and see if that correlates with local differences in depression rates (after controlling for other confounding factors, etc).

  While there’s an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency, I doubt it out weighs the economic meat grinder that is modern life.
