CHAPTER

Balancing Spirituality and Psychiatry in the Era of Technology

The chapter explores the speaker's journey from addiction to video games and almost becoming a monk to pursuing a career in psychiatry focused on technology addiction. It discusses the impact of modern technology on the brain, the invasive nature of technology in our lives, and the numbing effect of excessive tech use on emotions and relaxation. The conversation also delves into the addictive nature of technology, the impairment it can cause, and the importance of intentional technology consumption.
