USP identifica 13 transtornos mentais relacionados ao uso abusivo de dispositivos eletrônicos
Summary
TLDRA study from the University of São Paulo identifies 13 mental disorders caused by excessive technology use, including fear of disconnection, selfie obsession, and anxiety from lack of response to messages or social media posts. Brazilians spend an average of 9 hours daily on electronic devices, second only to South Africa, with 4 hours dedicated to social media. This overuse can lead to anxiety and depression. Physical health is also affected, with symptoms like nausea and dizziness from screen time. The study suggests that excessive blue light exposure from screens can disrupt sleep, exacerbating mental health issues. To counteract these effects, the researchers recommend engaging with nature, regular exercise, strengthening in-person relationships, and seeking social support.
