Rehab For Screen Addiction
Signs and Symptoms of Screen Addiction
At Omega Recovery, we have observed that screen addiction manifests through a variety of signs and symptoms, including excessive screen time despite negative consequences, withdrawal symptoms when screens are not accessible, and a general decline in physical and mental health. It’s not just the amount of time spent on screens but the compulsion to be online and the inability to control or reduce screen use.
Impact of Screen Addiction on Mental Health
Screen addiction can severely impact an individual’s mental health, leading to symptoms of anxiety, depression, and social isolation. Our clients often express feelings of loneliness and a disconnect from real-life relationships, compounded by an unhealthy attachment to virtual interactions.
Effects of Screen Addiction on Physical Health
The physical consequences of prolonged screen use are not to be overlooked. These can include vision problems, neck and back pain, and sleep disturbances. Furthermore, a sedentary lifestyle associated with excessive screen time can contribute to weight gain and related health issues.
