Abstract
The use of technology is dominating the lives of young people in the current world. Screen addiction affects the mental and physical health of children and adolescents, ruptures their interpersonal relationships, and interferes with their academic performance. This chapter explores the supposed causality, the challenges, and further ways to remediate and treat screen addiction. Future studies should focus on screening this vulnerable population regularly in school settings and evaluate the effectiveness of psychological interventions to ameliorate the potential long-term effects of screen addiction. The stakeholders and society at large must keep in mind that screen addiction does not only affect children directly but also causes great upheaval in society.
