Due to this, diseases like digital dementia are spreading rapidly nowadays, which are proving to be dangerous for mental and physical health.
What is digital dementia?
Digital dementia is a type of brain disorder in which a person's memory starts to weaken, decision-making ability decreases and his personality also starts to change. Dementia patients also start having difficulty in everyday tasks, such as forgetting small things or not being able to take decisions.
