If you own one smartphone, then there are very high chances that you are one of the people who suffer from nomophobia, a disease that is documented by doctors and that affects a large part of smartphone owners on the planet.
If you feel anxious when your smartphone is not near you, if you feel the need to constantly check it, if you feel non-existent vibrations and if you have problems with attention due to constantly checking a smartphone, then you more than likely suffer from nomophobia.
Nomophobia is the fear of not having your smartphone with you to use it all the time during the day and although it sounds strange, there are many people who suffer from this disease and there are very high chances that you too suffer from it without knowing it .
Smartphones have effectively turned us into their slaves and it is from the desire to always have in front of us new information about the world we live in, but also about the lives our friends lead, the lack of this data generating problems for many users.
Many suffer from anxiety if they lose their phone, even if only for a few minutes. We rely on it to do everything from saying "I love you" to breaking up, from checking bank balances to investing, from sharing photos of the grandchild to sexting. We can carry out a plethora of daily tasks, right from the palm of our hand.
According to a recent study, 70% of women who own a smartphone suffer from nomophobia, while only 61% of men suffer from this disease, so in the case of women the problems are much greater when they are separated from their smartphone .
Unfortunately, nomophobia is starting to affect more and more people on the planet and as mobile terminals become more and more personal, the problems will become bigger, but the problem is not with the manufacturers of mobile terminals, but with the users who have nothing to do to occupy his time in the absence of smartphones.
