With teleworking, I spend a lot of time in front of screens. Am I addicted?
Screen addiction is not defined in terms of the number of hours spent in front of screens, but in terms of the appearance of addictive behaviors (an irrepressible need to be on screens, a lack of interest in anything that doesn't involve screens, giving up real life in favor of virtual life...). The hours you spend in front of your computer while teleworking have no bearing on pathological screen use.
For further information, we recommend that you consult :
- The government website for the fight against drugs and addictive behavior
- The Institut d'Education Médicale et de Prévention (IEMP) information campaign on the proper use of screens
- The "Ameli" health insurance website, and its article on the fight against screen addiction
