Experts Analyze the Relationship Between Screen Time and Psychological Well-being
A recent study conducted by mental health professionals has shed light on the effects of technology on mental well-being. The study, which analyzed the habits of over 1,000 participants, found a direct correlation between excessive screen time and increased feelings of anxiety and depression.
According to Dr. Smith, lead researcher of the study, "Our findings suggest that prolonged exposure to screens, whether from smartphones, computers, or televisions, can have a negative impact on individuals' mental health. It is crucial for individuals to be mindful of their screen time and take regular breaks to protect their psychological well-being."
The study also highlighted the importance of practicing digital detox and engaging in offline activities to promote a healthier balance between technology use and mental health. Experts recommend limiting screen time, especially before bedtime, to improve sleep quality and overall well-being.
