🌐 Internet Addiction in Teens: Insights from Kathmandu for Urban Schools in India🌐 As a Professor of Psychiatry, I’m seeing how excessive internet use impacts young minds. A recent study from Kathmandu, Nepal found that over 50% of teens in private schools are at risk of internet addiction—a challenge that resonates deeply in cities like Delhi. What Every Parent and Educator Needs to Know: 🔹 Living Environment Matters: Teens without daily supervision are more vulnerable. Schools and families can help by creating structured routines and balanced online habits. 🔹 Screen Time Awareness: Just 2+ hours online daily can double the risk of addiction. Encouraging offline hobbies and setting screen time boundaries are essential. 🔹 Mental Health Link: Depression, insomnia, and anxiety often accompany internet addiction. Addressing these risks and supporting mental wellness are crucial. This is a call to action. Let’s work together to foster healthier digital habits and prioritize mental wellness in our urban schools. 🌱 #YouthWellbeing #DigitalBalance #LearningFromKathmandu https://t.co/MYkLRbcQTx
