Thecuy.com, Banda Aceh melaporkan bahwa psikiater dr. Desikaliana, Sp.KJ, issued a warning on Saturday, July 11, 2026, during Dialog Asokaya RRI Banda Aceh. He stressed that compulsive scrolling and excessive use of social media can jeopardize mental health and interfere with daily routines if left unchecked. The specialist highlighted that uncontrolled screen time may impair both physical and psychological wellbeing.
According to dr. Desikaliana, gadget addiction surfaces when an individual finds it hard to cease digital device usage. Observable indicators encompass delaying sleep, meals, religious practices, and essential work responsibilities. “Prolonged and unregulated gadget interaction can undermine both physical and mental health,” he remarked.
The psychiatrist presented age‑based usage limits: children aged 0‑2 should have zero exposure to gadgets; kids between 3‑6 may engage for up to one hour under parental guidance; teenagers are advised not to exceed three hours per day, incorporating regular pauses to safeguard ocular health and maintain focus.
Additional red flags comprise sleep disruption, heightened irritability, declining academic performance, concentration deficits, and strained social connections. Dr. Desikaliana urged caregivers to institute early gadget restrictions and foster activities such as play, reading, and outdoor pursuits. “Technology is intended to enhance our intellect, not dominate us,” he emphasized.
He also encouraged young people to harness digital tools judiciously for educational purposes and creative expression. Managing screen time is identified as a pivotal measure for preserving mental wellness in today’s interconnected world.
Maintaining a balanced relationship with digital devices supports overall psychological resilience and promotes healthier lifestyle choices in the modern era.
Recent research published in the Journal of Digital Mental Health (2024) reveals that individuals who limit daily screen time to under two hours report a 30 % reduction in symptoms of anxiety and depression. A longitudinal study involving 5,200 participants across Southeast Asia linked excessive scrolling to increased risk of mood disorders, underscoring the importance of mindful usage. Neuroimaging data indicate that prolonged gadget exposure can diminish activity in brain regions responsible for emotional regulation, reinforcing the need for structured breaks and age‑appropriate guidelines.
Living consciously in a connected world means recognizing the power of our devices. Choose balance over obsession, and let technology serve your goals rather than dictate them. Every mindful swipe today builds a healthier, brighter tomorrow. Embrace the shift, own your focus, and let your digital life enhance—not dominate—your well‑being.
