Rebellious behaviour, irritable nature and cutting from social interactions are signs of digital addiction that could led to mental issues

Rebellious behaviour, irritable nature and cutting from social interactions are signs of digital addiction that could led to mental issues. This was noted by counsellor Pankaj Kothari in a parenting session ‘Samvad’ organised at Daly College Business School on Thursday.
Kothari discussed issues that students can feel in them including unhealthy life styles, rebellious nature, and avoiding communication within family. “This could be because of excessive use of gadgets and it can affect all our relationship, working like an addiction,” he said.
Kothari stressed that these are very sensitive issues which can be dealt effectively if communicated and worked upon.
Further, college director Dr Rinku Joshi briefed students about the Enrichment Activities like Mentorship and Clubs like Reading, Literary Activities, Social Activity Club, Innovation and Health, and fitness routine for the batch 2019-22.
Tips to reduce the usage of smart-phone as shared in seminar
1. Track Your Usage
Ironically, you can try to stave off addicting smart-phone apps with another app. While not ideal, there are apps which help you find your personal phone-life balance by monitoring your smart-phone use and setting limits.
2. Stop Scrolling
Although social media apps can be difficult to live without, try deleting the apps that have infinite scroll and see how much time you can earn back.
3. Calm Your Mind
Meditation, yoga, exercise, and other mindfulness activities have been proven to create a natural release of dopamine, reducing the craving from the dopamine rushes your phone provides.
4. Use the Physical Versions of Useful Apps
Using a real alarm clock (and keeping your phone out of reach while sleeping) can help prevent you from wasting time before bed or right when you wake up. Carry a physical notebook and pen to take notes. Read paperback books and avoid the digital versions.
5. Seek help from your friends
6. Turn off all notifications unrelated to communication from real people
7. Turn Your Phone to Grayscale
Research shows that colours are attached to emotions and priorities--especially that little red notification bubble that has controlled us for so long. Turning your phone to black and white can reduce the urge you have to view new notifications that pull you into the infinite scrolling vortex.
