Smartphone Addiction
Smartphone addiction refers to the excessive use of smartphones that interferes with daily life. Individuals may find themselves constantly checking their devices, even in inappropriate situations, leading to neglect of responsibilities and relationships. This behavior can result in feelings of anxiety or restlessness when the phone is not accessible.
The phenomenon is often linked to the design of apps and social media platforms, which encourage frequent engagement through notifications and rewards. As a result, many users struggle to limit their screen time, impacting their mental health and overall well-being. Addressing smartphone addiction may involve setting boundaries and seeking support.
