The Dark Side of Screen Time: Borderline Personality Traits and Psychological Distress

Excessive screen time in adults has been linked to psychological distress and symptoms associated with borderline personality disorder, according to a study published in the Annals of Human and Social Sciences. The research found that individuals who spent excessive amounts of time in front of screens were more likely to exhibit signs of mood swings, difficulty managing emotions, anxiety, and depression. The study also revealed that men were more addicted to screens than women. While the study provides valuable insights, it focused on a specific region and does not imply causation. Further research is needed to explore the relationship between screen addiction and other mental health disorders.
