Mobile and Internet Addiction
Mobile and internet addiction is a behavioural concern characterized by excessive use of smartphones and online platforms, often leading to disruptions in daily life, relationships, and mental health. Common symptoms include compulsive scrolling, gaming, or social media use, which can result in decreased productivity, social isolation, and emotional distress.
Supportive Therapeutic Interventions
Effective interventions include cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to address underlying thought patterns, mindfulness practices to enhance self-control, and digital detox plans to establish healthy boundaries. Counselling, group therapy, and family support can also help individuals regain balance and prioritize real-world connections. With the right guidance, individuals can develop healthier relationships with technology.
