5 مشاكل عقلية يسببها الإدمان على الهاتف الذكي

According to the psychologist at the University of Essex Andrew Brzezipski and his team, who have been studying these diseases for years, this condition is spreading more common among adolescents and youth, especially among men.Besides, most of the people who suffer from it are very satisfied with their lives.The problem is that instead of feeling satisfied after spending time on Facebook, they end up with sadness.

2- رهاب فقدان الهاتف المحمول أو النوموفوبياأوردت المجلة أن النوموفوبيا تكمن في الخوف من فقدان الهاتف المحمول من بين أيدينا.In this regard, Armionis asserts that "there are people who take their phones to the bathroom and carry them in their pockets, even when doing some household tasks during cleaning or in the kitchen.".

The phobia is manifested in this case in two different types, namely the fear of the lack of a mobile phone near it, or the fear of running out of the battery before reaching the house, which in turn includes the lack of coverage.

According to the expert, among the solutions that help to avoid them should be exposed to cases in which you do not need to carry a mobile phone, such as going to buy or carry it without a battery.Moreover, you can turn off the mobile phone at night.

To avoid this, some experts said that "Google causes dry brain, and there are those who argue that information and communications technology cannot even stop it can communicate our minds to the Internet.".As for Armionis, he indicated that we should reconsider with regard to the positives and negatives of possessing a lot of information, which we had previously stored in our brain, whether in a computer or mobile phone.
