Abstract: As digital devices have become integral to everyday life, concerns over their psychological impact have grown. Overuse of technology has been linked to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, cognitive overload, and sleep disturbances. The concept of a "digital detox," which involves temporarily disengaging from digital devices to improve psychological well-being, has gained traction as a potential remedy. This editorial explores the psychological consequences of technology overuse, the emergence of the digital detox movement, its benefits and challenges, and implications for psychological practice.
