Description

Screen addiction is a problematic and compulsive use of electronic devices that interferes with daily responsibilities and causes negative consequences. This can manifest as excessive social media, gaming, or online shopping, and is linked to significant health risks, including anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, poor physical health, and reduced academic performance. Identifying the issue involves recognizing symptoms like withdrawal from other activities, irritability when unable to use a screen, and difficulty cutting back despite negative effects.
