Children addicted to smartphones and video games might face psychotic issues later in life. The study suggests a link between adolescent tech use and paranoia, hallucinations, and delusions by age 23.
Abruptly cutting off screen time for addicted youngsters could potentially worsen their condition. The study advises understanding underlying vulnerability factors to mental illness instead of solely blaming technology.
The research pointed out that internet use is more connected to depression compared to gaming or television. Gaming, in contrast, might have benefits for emotional regulation and social skill development.
