Get Started
What is digital addiction?
A digital addiction is the compulsive need to use technological devices in a manner that gets in the way of daily life.
Symptoms
A digital addiction can feel like an inability to stay off devices despite the negative outcomes and feelings they cause. Digital addiction can also develop as a response to depression, anxiety, mood disorders, or an effort to escape daily life.
How can digital addictions be addressed?
Digital addictions can be addressed by limiting screen-time, turning off distractions, and setting real boundaries around things like social media and internet use.

Wellin5's counsellors provide online counselling for anyone, anywhere in Canada. They are equipped to support you through all forms of digital addiction, and other day-to-day issues.
