"It will lead to anxiety and insomnia": a specialist spoke about the negative impact of social networks on health
Using social media too much or too often can have serious consequences.
Neurologist and psychologist Lyubov Blagodareva spoke about this in more detail.
She reported that dopamine addiction develops.
"When scrolling through a feed, the human brain looks for something interesting, useful, something that evokes emotion. However, this is a very short-term pleasure," RIA Novosti quotes the doctor as saying.
Thus, a person seeks a small burst of pleasure, and then an addiction is formed.
As a result, problems with sleep and performance appear, and anxiety increases.
It is worth noting that when an addict watches another video, the brain does not process the information, but wants to get a surge of dopamine.
The specialist recommended using smartphones less often, putting them away 2-3 hours before going to bed, but it is advisable to go to bed before 11 p.m.
