Synopsis In our modern, technology-driven world, the ubiquity of digital devices and constant connectivity has given rise to a concerning phenomenon: digital addiction. This pervasive issue, characterized by an excessive and compulsive use of digital technologies, can have far-reaching negative consequences on individuals' mental health, social well-being, and overall quality of life. The findings from the literature review suggest that digital addiction is a growing concern, particularly among young adults and adolescents, who have psychological problems, such as increased loneliness, anxiety, and depression. The research also indicates that factors like insecure attachment styles and impulsivity can contribute to the development of technology-related addictions. An imbalance between the reflective and reactive reward systems results in compulsive and problematic use. Hence, developing and implementing effective strategies to address this issue is crucial. One potential approach involves utilizing technology-assisted solutions, such as monitoring usage and enabling interactive awareness messages, to help individuals gain insight into their digital habits and foster healthier engagement with technology. While the causal relationship between digital addiction and negative life experiences can be complex, researchers have explored the potential for technology-assisted solutions, including monitoring usage and enabling interactive awareness messages to help individuals gain insight into their digital habits and foster healthier engagement with technology. By empowering individuals to understand and regulate their digital behaviors, these strategies can serve as effective tools in mitigating the adverse effects of digital addiction. The evidence also emphasizes how several treatment modalities, including solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and interpersonal therapy, may be useful in lessening the symptoms of digital addiction. We can empower people to build healthier relationships with digital technologies and lessen the negative effects of this expanding issue by utilizing technology-assisted solutions, therapeutic approaches, and a deeper understanding of the underlying factors contributing to digital addiction.
