While mobile technologies enhance communication, learning, and productivity, excessive and uncontrolled usage has resulted in adverse psychological, social, academic, and physical consequences. This article examines mobile addiction as a form of behavioral addiction, focusing on its underlying causes, diverse manifestations, and multifaceted impacts. Psychological factors such as anxiety, stress, loneliness, and low self-esteem interact with social pressures, cultural norms, and persuasive technological designs to intensify addictive usage patterns. The study further highlights the consequences of mobile addiction, including impaired mental wellbeing, deteriorating interpersonal relationships, reduced academic performance, and emerging physical health problems. Particular attention is given to adolescents and young adults, who represent the most vulnerable population due to developmental and social influences. The article also discusses contemporary challenges in prevention and management, emphasizing the need for individual self-regulation, family and educational interventions, and ethical technology design. Addressing mobile addiction requires a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to promote digital well-being in modern society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Mobile Addiction, Smartphone Dependency, Behavioral Addiction, Digital Well-Being, Adolescents, Technology Use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 141-147<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/141-147.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Sahana Khatun DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/04010019 Abstract: Mobile addiction has emerged as a significant behavioral concern in the contemporary digital era, driven by the widespread availability of smartphones and constant internet connectivity.
