I hear you. Seems to me that people who sleep with their cell phones are more likely to be awakened by them, and who sleeps with their cell phone? Well I do, now that I have a jealous lover, and he disturbs my sleep even from far away, which could have the cumulative effect of running me down and bumming me out...and then there's the social isolation component. People who don't have dear ones close by are likely to spend more time on the phone....so people who talk on the cell phone more are more socially isolated? Because we know that isolation-->depression... And then there's the new finding that cell phones increase the glucose metabolism of the brain where the signal hits, and possibly inflammation there too....which would be a direct cause....So it's the chicken and egg question, combined with a high probability of nearly infinite multicausality where depression is concerned. And I agree, correlation EQUALS NOT causation.
correlation =//= causation
