Lucknow. The current lifestyle and excessive use of technology has pushed the youth into a trap which is rapidly ruining their mental health. In today’s time, the unlimited habit of watching reels and shorts on social media and increasing loneliness beyond society and deepening depression are emerging as a silent epidemic among the youth. According to psychologists, ‘dopamine loop’ is the main root of this problem. Whenever a young person continuously scrolls the reels, the new content every 15 seconds releases an artificial overdose of dopamine, the happiness hormone, in the brain.

Due to this instant gratification, the concentration span of the youth has reduced to very short and today’s youth are feeling unable to concentrate on any serious work or studies, due to which irritability and severe lack of patience is being seen in them. Moreover, the imaginary world of filters and perfection of social media is creating a feeling of comparison and inferiority among the youth. Because of this, the youth are unknowingly getting disappointed with their real life after seeing the lifestyle and great looks of others on the reels. Even though youth have thousands of followers in the virtual world, they still do not have any true friends in real life to share their feelings with, which further increases loneliness.
Due to screen scrolling on social media all night, the production of ‘melatonin’ hormone which is necessary for sleep stops. Ultimately, lack of sleep and physical immobility take the form of severe clinical depression. To get out of this swamp of imaginary world, today’s youth will have to immediately improve their daily routine. Adopt a ‘digital detox’ of at least 2 hours daily and also set time limits on apps on your smartphone. One hour before sleeping at night, keep the phone away from you completely. Apart from this, get out of the virtual world and meet real friends, take up sports or a new hobby so that the mind can remain naturally healthy.
