Title : Challenges and approaches in the management of Digital craving
Abstract:
Addiction is a horrible disease, and no one wishes to see someone they love go through it. Digital devices have largely occupied all the fields and taken the place of almost everything in our life activities. we’re all spending too much time on our phones and computers. The average American stares at a screen - usually one connected to the internet - for 11 hours a day.
As internet has become increasingly matted in our lives, experts have raised concerns around the concept of people having an internet addiction. Internet addiction, often referred to as internet addiction disorder (IAD), isn’t a recognized condition in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Still, many psychologists argue that excessive internet use should be treated the same as other types of addiction.
As with other types of addiction, there’s no single cause of internet addition. Several factors can play a role in the development of addiction. These factors vary from person to person. A person suffering from addiction deals with a daily obsession to use, and is constantly faced with triggers and temptations that can lead to major health issues. Many individuals can’t get rid of technology entirely, and they are unable to focus on other parts of life. A digital detox can help them lower the stress and physical effects of constant technology use.
This digital detox refers to a period of time when a person refrains from using tech devices such as smartphones, televisions, computers, tablets, and social media. Similarly, various approaches can be planned to overcome the suffering from internet use, and those effects will be appreciated if it is holistic.
