D, professor of psychiatry at the Catholic University School of Medicine. "The number of adolescents addicted to smartphone use will increase because the popularization of smartphones is an inevitable social trend. And the younger they are, the more vulnerable they are, " said Dr. Lee.

"This has become a social issue, and they noted that it has negatively affected their studies, " said Dr. Lee. • 41. 3% of youth reported excessive gaming • 12% reported abnormal behavior after losing their smartphone • 9. 3% reported conflicts with parents • 9% reported using their smartphone to look at obscene material

"These are highly predictive of addiction, " said Dr. Lee. "Our earlier study showed that using it in particular situations was also associated with smartphone addiction, such as using it when going to bed or in the bathroom. “ "Recently, we have also heard that smartphone overuse by youth is associated with depression, more exposure to obscene material, and even suicide. "

The study of nearly 200 adolescents showed that those who were very high users of smartphones had significantly more problematic behaviors, including somatic symptoms, attention deficits, and aggression than did those who were low users. Dr. Jonghun Lee
