What is digital dementia? Will the next term be considered mental illness?
I think digital dementia is the relationship between overuse of technology and the disintegration of cognitive ability

Digital dementia is a term coined by German neuroscientist Dr. Manfred Spritzer in 2015 based on his research proving the breakdown of cognitive function related to the overuse of technology.

Fine, but has it really been proved or simply another possible, an hypothesis wrapped up as the truth? I am sure I could prove the reverse dependent on what technology is being used.
My most recent papers are attempting to establish an economic connection between the 'discovery' and 'identification' of new mental illnesses. That these are not medically driven discoveries but economic ones in that the discoverer and pharmaceutocal companies/not quite as simple as that of course/benefit within an economic model that in order to expand requires more mental illness.Recently, two year olds have been found to be mentally ill (providing thereby a new area of expertise to expand into).
The expansion of physical illness is concerned with new tecnologies and or diagnostic advancements (sic). Medicine is an industry run effectively by corporates that like all such business models require new products. It has ceased to be directly or primarily a healing phenomenon.
Just a thought!
It is a term related to the overuse of technology resulting in negative consequences in terms of cognition.
La 'demencia digital' es un concepto diagnóstico popularizado por el Dr. Manfred Spitzer, causado por el uso adictivo de los medios digitales, que provoca que el rendimiento cognitivo y la memoria disminuyan.
NO es una enfermedad mental, pero sí la consecuencia de una adicción superlativa a los medios electrónicos. A muchas personas se les está olvidando incluso escribir a mano, o sea, el eficaz manejo de la psicomotricidad fina.
El deterioro de una función NO es sinónimo de enfermedad mental. Una persona puede olvidar el manejo de un mapa o conducirse por las estrellas, pero eso no quiere decir que sea demente o depresivo.
