Is Brain Rot Real?

What is Brain rot? iIts an a new concept that describes how we feel when we look at a screen for too long. You feel anxious, tired and don't have the motivation to do anything else. Looking for the next video to feed your attention but not really getting anything from it.

And we have all been there. Desperately scrolling hoping for an answer to the question of boredom but never finding the anaswer.

So yes brain rot is real. But what do we do about it?

Giving up social media isn't realistic

As a therapists I ask people to

1. set alarms to stop them from looking at media for as long
2. go through their subscribers and choose who is actually worth watching
3. don't watch social media 3 hours before they go to sleep.

I know its hard but lets change how you use your phone and social media so its helping you rather than hindering your life.
