Abstract
This review article delves into the multifaceted relationship between smartphone addiction and mental health, examining empirical studies and theoretical frameworks. It highlights the significant correlations between problematic smartphone use and adverse mental health outcomes such as anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and stress. The paper explores underlying mechanisms, including neurobiological changes, social isolation, and displacement of activities, and reviews various interventions from cognitive-behavioral therapy to policy-level changes aimed at mitigating the addiction's impact. The findings emphasize the necessity for a multifaceted approach in addressing the complexities of smartphone addiction and its effects on mental health.
