Digital Addiction

Digital addiction refers to the compulsive use of digital devices, such as smartphones, computers, and video games, leading to negative impacts on daily life, relationships, and mental health. It can manifest as excessive social media scrolling, gaming, or browsing the internet at the expense of other activities. Symptoms may include anxiety when not online, neglect of responsibilities, and difficulty controlling usage. Like other forms of addiction, it can interfere with a person’s ability to focus, socialize, or enjoy offline hobbies, prompting individuals to seek a balance between their digital and real-life experiences.
