  • 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.
