These magic herbs can manage your social media anxiety: Here's the list
New Delhi : Can you imagine a day without checking your social media account? Well, with the rise of social networking over Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and alike, we have become an active social butterfly. We are almost addicted to our mobile phone and we feel uneasy if we don’t check the notifications every half-an-hour. This creeping feeling is nothing but an indication that we are at the risk of depression and anxiety.
According to a new San Francisco State University study, the addiction of smartphones is not much different from that of substance abuse. The overuse of smartphones may begin forming neurological connections in the brain in ways similar to how opioid addiction is experienced by people taking Oxycontin for pain relief, revealed the researchers.
