In today’s digital world, Instagram is more than an app—it’s an addiction. The endless scrolling, likes, and reels create a dopamine-driven cycle that damages mental health, sleep, focus, and real-life relationships.
🔍 How Instagram is Ruining Gen Z’s Life:
⚠ Comparison Trap: Curated, unrealistic lives lower self-esteem.
⚠ Dopamine Cravings: Likes and shares create addictive brain patterns.
⚠ Sleep Disruptions: Late-night scrolling leads to fatigue.
⚠ Shortened Attention Span: Quick content makes deep focus harder.
⚠ Social Isolation: Online validation replaces real-life connections.
🧠 Role of a Psychiatrist:
✔ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps break compulsive scrolling habits.
✔ Mindfulness & Digital Detox Plans: Teaches self-control strategies. ✔ Identifying Mental Health Issues: Addresses anxiety and body image concerns.
✔ Medication (if required): Helps manage impulse control disorders.
