                    [Summary] => The teen obsession with yakking, text messaging and ringtone swapping on their cellphones might mean more than a whopping phone bill. For the most crazed, it’s a sign of unhappiness and anxiety, according to a new medical study.


A survey of 575 US high school students found that that the top third of users – students who used their phones more than 90 times a day – frequently did so because they were unhappy or bored. They scored significantly higher on tests measuring depression and anxiety compared to students who used their phones a more sedate 70 times daily.
