Inhaltsangabe

Technology addictions and digital diseases have emerged as pressing concerns in an era defined by constant connectivity and unprecedented access to digital platforms. As social media, gaming, and immersive technologies increasingly shape everyday life, growing evidence points to the effect of mental health, social relationships, and overall well-being. Understanding these challenges requires a different approach that draws on psychological, sociological, and neurological theories, as well as practical strategies for prevention, intervention, and healthy digital engagement. Technology Addictions and Digital Diseases: Theories and Practices explores the effects of technology on human and societal psychology. This book explores these technology-based behavioral addictions that impact all segments of society. Covering topics such as behavioral analysis, psychology, and technology development, this book is an excellent resource for academicians, graduate students, healthcare professionals, psychologists, and more.
