Screen Addiction & Digital Dependency
Screen addiction and digital dependency are growing concerns in today’s always-connected world, especially among children and adolescents. Excessive use of smartphones, tablets, gaming, and social media can negatively impact physical health, mental well-being, academic performance, and social development. Common effects include sleep disturbances, reduced attention span, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and decreased physical activity.
Addressing screen addiction requires balanced digital use, parental guidance, age-appropriate screen time limits, digital literacy, and early intervention by healthcare and education professionals. Creating healthy digital habits is essential to support overall well-being and development in the digital age.
