Smart Device and Screen Addiction
A counselling and therapy program for individuals who spend excessive time in front of smart devices, compromising their cognitive and emotional development.
Modern technology has become an integral part of daily life, but excessive use of smart devices can lead to digital addiction, with consequences for emotional, social, and physical health.
The issue arises when a person:
- spends hours and hours on the phone, refusing to engage in other activities;
- stops interacting with others or with their family;
- becomes dependent on the phone to eat or fall asleep;
- loses interest in regular activities and hobbies.
Common Behaviours in People Addicted to Technology
- Excessive fear of losing or being without the phone
- “Phantom vibration” – the false sensation that the phone is vibrating, even with no notification
- Lack of time awareness – the person doesn’t realize how much time they spend on the phone
- Increased anxiety and irritability when away from screens
- Outbursts of anger, shouting, or aggressive language when access to the phone is limited
- Depression, sleep deprivation, and family conflicts caused by excessive technology use
- Social isolation and loss of interest in face-to-face interaction

Treatment Packages for Screen Addiction
Our clinic offers a comprehensive program of diagnosis, intervention, and recovery to help individuals regain their balance and develop a healthy relationship with technology.
Why Is Early Intervention Important?
Screen addiction can have long-term effects on a person’s cognitive, social, and emotional development. Specialized intervention is therefore essential to:
- reduce screen time and adopt a balanced daily routine;
- improve performance and increase focus;
- restore social and family relationships by eliminating isolation;
- prevent mental health issues like anxiety and depression.
If you notice signs of addiction in your own behaviour, we invite you to come in for a consultation, a personalized assessment, and an effective treatment plan.
