In today’s digitally-driven world, our smartphones have become an essential part of our lives.

However, the reliance on these devices has given rise to a new form of anxiety.

Nomophobia or “No-Mobile-Phone Phobia.”

This term refers to the fear of being without one’s phone or losing the ability to use it.

Nomophobia is the irrational fear of being without your mobile phone or being unable to use it for some reason, such as a dead battery, no signal, or a lost device.

This anxiety can manifest in various ways, from mild uneasiness to full-blown panic attacks.

Some common symptoms of Nomophobia include:

Constantly checking your phone for messages, missed calls, or notifications, even when it’s not ringing or vibrating.

Experiencing anxiety or distress when your phone is not within reach or when you can’t use it.

Feeling the need to have your phone with you at all times, even during activities that don’t require its use.

Neglecting personal relationships, work, or other responsibilities due to excessive phone usage.
