Mobile Addiction and associated factors amongst youth
Journal Title: INDIAN JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
In today’s era Addiction is not restricted to chemical or natural substances. Behavioural addiction is an emerging addiction noted these days. Technological Advancements are changing rapidly and new technology becomes available easily – something which is contributing to upswing of excessive mobile phone use. This is a simple review, based on empirical evidence available that focuses on the dilemma of using the correct term for mobile phone addiction. The diagnosis dilemma exists due to inequity in the measurement and description of the forms of mobile phone abuse. The article also tries to highlight how young minds are impacted by this phenomenon; and the various physical and psychological ill-effects associated with it.
