Welcome back to The ClearlyWell Podcast. In today’s short sesh, we’re diving into a growing concern that affects kids, teens, and adults alike—Internet addiction. From endless scrolling and late-night gaming to online chat rooms and even risky spaces like Reddit threads, the Internet can quickly shift from a helpful tool to an unhealthy dependency.
We’ll look at the different types of Internet addiction, what the research tells us about its impact on mental health, and why children and adults experience it so differently. We’ll also talk about how Internet use connects to depression, anxiety, and even sleep disruption caused by blue light exposure. And finally, we’ll explore practical steps and safety measures families can take to protect themselves while still enjoying the benefits of being online.
This is a conversation about balance, boundaries, and finding healthier ways to connect—both online and in real life.”
