A psychologist from Lancester University, Prof Cary Cooper said that for too long at the screen of a Blackberry or iPhone can make people 'numb' or loss of emotional sensitivity. If protracted, this condition can trigger stress.
"Staring at the LCD screen continuously can make a person isolated and lose interaction with the environment. As with television, phone addiction could also seize the contents of the mind," says Prof. Cooper was quoted as saying by The Sun, Thursday (22/12/2011).
Not just the stress of social, mobile phone addiction could also lead to clinical depression. A survey conducted by the pharmaceutical company bayer reveals, 28 percent of women who complained about the quality of sex life decreased since the smart phone addiction.
Sustained stress has also been mentioned as a source of various psychiatric problems. Someone who is stressed not only prone to depression, but also more vulnerable to insomnia or restless sleep that impact physically making the body so easily hurt.
When he was addicted to smart phones with a variety of advanced features, one is also more prone to obsessive behavior disorders. Many forms, but most so often to check email, short messages or status updates on social networking.
"Technology can be addictive thus classified as psychoactive. Tools such as cell phones can alter mood. Because people tend to wait for good news, that person will check his cell phone constantly," said Prof Cooper.
The brain is exposed to too much information via e-mail or short messages can experience fatigue. As a result, the messages are really important but perhaps less fun, tend to be easily forgotten because the memory function in the brain begins to decline.
