Each week you probably receive a notice on your phone about your average daily screen time. Most of us continue to increase our screen time each week. The danger is to become a Zombie scroller. The mindless scrolling our smart devices out of habit rather than necessity. To scroll with no particular benefit or destination in mind can and is detrimental to our mental wellness. Unfortunately, it is easy to become addicted to flashing images on our phones. Frequently, this behavior is triggered when we are bored, lonely or feeling ill at ease in a social setting. Anxiety prompts these responses. Anxiety is a condition that is treatable. Often depression accompanies anxiety.
