Description

According to a recent survey, most individuals aged 12-24 regularly use social media due to the 'Fear of Missing Out' (FOMO). FOMO serves as a form of peer pressure for young people who desire to disconnect from the digital realm. Dr Shailja Chaturvedi, a psychiatrist in Sydney, warns that this can escalate into addiction. She provides guidance on how individuals can break free from this pressure, avoiding excessive scrolling and overindulgence in their smartphones.
