Does Academic Burnout Alleviate or Exacerbate Internet Dependence in University Students with Depression and Anxiety?
High levels of academic burnout can exacerbate symptoms of depression and anxiety, significantly reducing students' interest in activities. For these students, a decrease in internet addiction may not be a positive sign; instead, it could indicate worsened depression and anxiety. This finding underscores the need for close monitoring of and intervention implementation for college students experiencing high levels of burnout and symptoms of depression or anxiety.
