Problematic smartphone use is proposed by few researchers to be a form of psychological or behavioural addiction on cell phones, closely related to other forms of digital media overuse such as social media dependence or internet addiction disorder. Problematic use can include preoccupation with cell phone communication, excessive money or time spent on cell phones, and use of cell phones in socially or physically inappropriate situations such as driving an automobile. Addicted use can also lead to adverse effects on relationships, mental or physical health, and ensues anxiety if separated from a mobile phone or sufficient signal. Preschool going children and young adults are at highest risk for problematic android phone use. Prevalence of cell phone overuse depends widely on definition and thus the scales used to quantify a subject's behaviors.7 In India, addiction is stated at 39-44% for this age group. Depressive symptoms are some of the most serious psychological problems in adolescents; the correlation between depressive symptoms and mobile phone addiction is a critical issue because such symptoms may lead to substance abuse, school failure and even suicide as well.
