Trapped in the Screen: Unpacking the Modern Epidemic of Mobile Addiction

Abstract Mobile addiction, defined as excessive and compulsive use of mobile devices, has emerged as a significant public health concern with far-reaching consequences. This article explores the underlying mechanisms of mobile addiction, emphasizing its psychological, social, and behavioral dimensions. The rise of smartphones and the proliferation of apps designed to maximize user engagement have contributed to this growing issue. Users often find themselves compulsively checking notifications, engaging in social media, or playing games, which can lead to detrimental effects on mental health, such as increased anxiety, depression, and impaired cognitive function. Social interactions are also impacted, with individuals experiencing weakened relationships and reduced face-to-face communication skills. The article reviews current research on mobile addiction, including its diagnostic criteria and comparison to substance use disorders. It also examines effective interventions and strategies for managing and mitigating addiction, such as digital detoxes, behavioral therapies, and app usage monitoring tools. The findings underscore the need for a comprehensive approach that integrates technological solutions with public education and personal awareness to address and reduce the prevalence of mobile addiction.
Keywords Mobile addiction, digital detox, smartphone dependency, Technology and well-being
