Today, with the increasing use of smartphones among children and adolescents, we are witnessing an increase in mental and psychological problems in this age group. Studies show that prolonged use of mobile phones can lead to depression, anxiety, and social isolation in adolescents. When children spend a lot of time on their phones, they are deprived of important developmental activities such as physical activity, real social interactions, and time with family. This deprivation can have negative effects on the development of their social and emotional skills. Also, the blue light emitted from the phone screen can disrupt children's sleep patterns. Sleep disorders are one of the important factors causing depression. In addition, constant exposure to social media content and comparing oneself with others can lead to reduced self-confidence and feelings of inadequacy.
