Screen addiction refers to the excessive and compulsive use of digital devices like smartphones, computers, tablets, and gaming consoles. This condition involves a constant urge to interact with screens, even when it negatively impacts responsibilities, social life, and general well-being.
Screen addiction shows up in various ways for different people, but here are some typical signs to look out for:
Screen addiction may develop because of some quirks in how the brain’s reward system and neurotransmitters work. The instant gratification provided by screens—like the likes on social media or leveling up in video games—can reinforce those addictive habits. Factors like boredom, stress, or the need to escape negative emotions can also contribute to screen dependence.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, screen time has really taken a turn for the worse. Kids between 8 and 12 are now spending around four to six hours a day on their devices, while teens are racking up as much as nine hours daily.
