Mobile phone, computer, tablet, and other high-tech devices, have turned out as a best friend for many of us regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, career, and economic status.

On the other hand, these devices are playing a vital role in causing behavioral addiction to an individual.

Scientifically, such addiction is characterized as mobile phone mania, a state of socio-psychological illness, and it is clinically referred as Nomophobia (No – Mobile – Phobia).

The over usage of mobile phones has steered us into psychological illness like, insecurity, low self-confidence, mood fluctuations, sleep disturbances, insomnia, neck pain and rigidity, computer vision syndrome, weakness of thumb and wrist, Nomophobia, delusions, and hallucinations.

Studies have established a significant relationship between mobile phone addiction and socio-psychological dimensions such as loneliness, boredom, egoism, and self-independence.

‘WhatsApp’ and other applications of the mobile phones can develop a dependence syndrome (abuse or addiction)!
