Bengaluru Clinic Warns of Rising Social Media Addiction Among Teens

Some teens in Bengaluru are spending too much time on social media and live-streaming, which is like a new kind of addiction.

They get hooked on things like getting likes and gifts, and talking with online creators.

The problem is they might feel sad or lonely, and these apps help them feel better.

But it can become a cycle, making them feel worse.

The clinic at Nimhans is helping them by talking with them and their families.

They also help them take a break from their devices and find better ways to feel good.

It's important for families to talk, set rules, and get help if needed to build healthy digital habits.
