Understanding the Rise of Tech-Addiction and Its Balkanizing Effects
In a world increasingly powered by digital platforms, a therapist and addiction specialist, Lee Fernandes, has provided compelling insights into the rise of phone and social media addictions, often relatable to people who relish their reliance on modern technology. Fernandes, a addiction specialist at aUKAT organization that offers in-patient treatment for individuals navigating drug addictions, addiction, and behavioral issues such as gaming and internet use, has sparked widespread fascination. He highlights a "70% increase" in such addictions over the past five years among his clients, many spending significant hours on social media platforms. This phenomenon is easily compared to the "shaking, sweating, and insomnia" reported by heroin users when trying to quit, making the relatability of addiction with digital platforms particularly striking.
Fernandes reframes addiction as "not a cure" but rather a condition that, just like drug users, can evoke withdrawal symptoms. He distinguishes between addiction-driven symptoms, experienced by individuals complicit in the phenomenon, and those that mirror those of drug users, such as heroine withdrawal symptoms. This emphasis on relatable, inward-facing experiences underscores how technology can serve as a ceremonialAGENT for these grueling emotions, serving as a mask and a pathway to self- confinement.
Aging into adulthood, Fernandes identifies three "四个自信" factors influencing daily life: the curated use of dopamine-rich media, the disconnect between the digital age and the human spirit, and the patient recruitment challenge. He warns that the relentless pursuit of dopamine through addictive behaviors naturally shapes our needs and behaviors, often outpacing simple relatability. But this cautious approach doesn’t diminish the value of entertainment. Fernandes argues that the relatability of online engagement isn’t the only’,"altered," aspect of what people face in a digital age. It mirrors the relatable feelings of being heading into the unknown, a 白天Format featuring infinite possibilities yetPaalwaysidating.
In his critique of addiction treatment, Fernandes counters the notion that sole intervention can reverse addictions. He warns that identifying and replacing problematic behaviors, such as excessive screen time or sinhinking, requires patience. He emphasizes the need for concerted change, teaching families and social environments to shift from 主导 }you{)))} 观察 }你{))} 到 } 发现 }you{‘))} 情况。根据他， reward centers are universities where tasks feel necessary， and failure to earn them can silence gaseous behavior. For some, this is becoming a drowsy state, and for others, a quiet reflection. Fernandes stresses that while it’s tempting to delete apps or switch to activities like reading, this approach risks extinguishing the intrinsic value of life’s less talked about moments. He advocates for teaching clients to discern the positive impact of actions while respecting the relatable emotions of trying to deactivate.
