Since entering the era of network office communication, high efficiency and fast rhythm have become the main characteristics of modern office. Computers reduce the burden on people’s physical strength, but they also increase the burden on people’s psychology. Many people who have been facing computers for a long time show a mental and physical sub-health state – premature aging syndrome.
Some experts were worried that long-term use of computers would cause “psychological death”. What is “psychological death”? Will long-term use of computers cause “psychological death”?
using multiple computers is prone to anxiety and depression
The latest statistics show that among the more than 200 million Internet users in the world, about 11.4 million suffer from some form of online psychological disorder, accounting for about 6% of the total number of Internet users. The age of onset of online psychological disorders is between 15 and 45 years old, with males accounting for 98.5% of the total number of patients and females accounting for 1.5%.
The categories of “mental death (premature aging)” and “network mental disorder” mentioned here overlap to some extent. Some studies have found that people who use computers for a long time are more likely to suffer from psychological diseases such as anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder than normal people. “If you use computers too much, you are really prone to a variety of emotional disorders.” Experts pointed out that the so-called “mental death (premature aging)” is greatly related to Internet addiction, and the two have something in common.
office workers should avoid internet addiction
Because of the use of computers all day, many office workers have Internet addiction symptoms, and some behavioral disorders will occur when they leave the computer to return to normal life.
Internet addiction is a phenomenon that causes obvious social and psychological damage due to excessive use of the Internet. Patients with internet addiction often spend a lot of time and energy chatting and browsing continuously on the Internet without certain reasons and without restraint, thus damaging their physical health, and appearing various behavioral abnormalities, psychological disorders, personality disorders, and partial dysregulation of sympathetic function in life. Its typical manifestations are: low mood, no pleasure or loss of interest, sleep disorder, biological clock disorder, loss of appetite and weight loss, lack of energy, psychomotor retardation and agitation, reduced self-evaluation and ability, slow thinking, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, reduced social activities, heavy smoking, drinking and drug abuse.
At the same time, some studies believe that Internet addiction is related to other mental and psychological problems, such as depression, impulse control disorder, low self-evaluation, or poor social relations, lack of friends, dissatisfaction with appearance, disability and other personal life factors. Individuals with addictive tendencies have obvious personality traits before suffering from Internet addiction, such as excessive shyness, introversion and social withdrawal.
Experts pointed out that because of staring at the screen for a long time, the eyes were tired and the head was tight; Feel lack of energy, feel “tired”, have difficulty concentrating, and have poor memory and understanding; Most of the time in front of the machine, lack of communication with people, resulting in lack of enthusiasm for life, weakened ability to accept new things and adapt to new environments, and lack of creativity and professionalism; Life is simple and casual, and it is difficult to arouse interest; Become sensitive and suspicious, self-centered, jealous, easy to argue with people over some trivial matters, or resent people and things you can’t stand; Stubbornness, no desire to change the status quo, no excitement, no climax, etc.
reasonable desire is the “vitality agent” of life
Often using computers for a long time does need to prevent premature mental aging. First of all, maintain appropriate desires and have a happy attitude. There is a fable that can explain this very well. A fisherman took a rest after fishing for several days. A passer-by asked, “why don’t you continue fishing?” The fisherman replied, “that’s enough to support himself.” Passers by said: “if you continue to fish, you can save money to buy a new boat, hire people, open a company, buy a villa, and then lie comfortably by the sea to bask in the sun.” The fisherman replied, “but now I’m enjoying the sunshine by the sea.” Therefore, whether life is happy or not is up to you.
