GADGETS CAN ALTER BRAIN FUNCTION
Excessive use of social media, smart phones and computers can cause psychiatric conditions such as narcissistic personality disorder,mania and attention deficit disorder, warn scientists.
Scientists fear that since a child's brain is in a very active phase of development and still learning to process information about relationships and emotions, it could get wired differently with digital over-use, causing structural changes that could trigger mental health problem later on in life.
It could make children grow accustomed to, and be more comfortable with, relation-ships in the electronic space.
Certain technologies such as video gaming has been found to produce high levels of the chemical dopamine in the brain, which the brain interprets as pleasure and that makes them want to do it more.
