Facebook is dangerous for the psyche. New evidence.
About one in eight of the supposedly 2.9 billion Facebook users
have problems with addiction to the social network. This is
evidenced by the results of a study conducted by the company,
writes the Daily Mail (
https://bit.ly/3F8rgUS). It turned out that
using the platform is harmful. It affects sleep, work, parenting,
work performance, and relationships. Some people do not get
enough sleep due to the fact that they are constantly scrolling
the tape. In some cases, parents have paid more attention to
Facebook than caring for or communicating with their children.
Difficulties affect 12.5% of Facebook users, or over 360 million
people.
For example, in the United States there are about 10% of addicts,
while in the Philippines and India, "the company's largest market,"
this figure reaches 25% of the total. This activities like shopping,
sex, and using Facebook, if repetitive and excessive, could cause
problems for some people - the experts came to the conclusion.
According to experts, users of other applications, including
Instagram and WhatsApp, which are owned by Meta's parent
company, have also developed addiction.
Once again, it is clear from this study that active smartphone
users need involuntary hospitalization and therapy. Since they
pose a threat to themselves and others. Dopamine (smartphone)
addiction is identical to cocaine and heroin addiction. In the
absence of a drug, a smartphone-addicted person experiences
withdrawal symptoms, mood swings, stress, panic attacks, as well
as severe headaches. The sooner clinical psychiatry deals with the
involuntary hospitalization of smartphone owners, the fewer
deaths there will be afterwards.
