• Dr. Kadam Nagpal warns excessive reel watching doesn't cause 'brain damage' but severely impacts concentration and memory.
• Children show reduced interest in studies, irritability, depression, and aggressive behavior due to screen time.
• Adults and youth are increasingly experiencing anxiety, FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), and OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).
• Prolonged screen use leads to headaches and sleep disorders, potentially causing seizures in severe cases.
• Experts advise reducing screen time, returning to offline learning, and using alternatives like TV for educational content.
