Digital addiction



Digital addiction is a growing concern, with the World Health Organization recognizing digital gaming disorder as a medical condition. Recent studies highlight the role of social media identity bubbles in fostering addiction, leading to psychological distress and decreased well-being19. To avoid digital addiction, 

  • awareness and monitoring of screen time are crucial. 
  • Effective interventions include cognitive behavioral therapy and exercise, which have shown positive outcomes in reducing addiction symptoms. 
  • Engaging in offline activities and building social connections can also help mitigate the risks associated with excessive digital use. 
Early intervention is key to preventing long-term negative impacts.

Personally:

  1. I turn off the screen as soon as I catch myself mindlessly scrolling—just to take a break.

  2. I set a timer before using my phone, and once it goes off, the screen goes off too. It helps me control my usage.

  3. I set fixed focus times for other tasks, which helps me stay productive and think less about social interactions and distractions.

We often overlook the fact that everyone faces their own set of problems, no matter how perfect their life may seem from the outside.
