Nomophobia is a relatively new concept that has gained prominence with the increasing use of smartphones. It is characterized by a strong emotional or psychological dependence on mobile devices, to the point where the individual experiences anxiety or distress when separated from their phone.
This addiction, while not involving a drug, has the same effects on the brain. It stimulates the same areas of the brain and affects the reward circuitry in the same way as alcohol, for example.
Common symptoms of nomophobia, or the fear of being detached from mobile phone connectivity, include:
These symptoms can occur at any time, even when the person is without their mobile phone or when they think about being without it. The fear must be persistent, excessive, and unreasonable. People with nomophobia may experience panic attacks if they are without their mobile phones, and their symptoms can vary in intensity and frequency.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to see a mental health professional. Nomophobia can be a serious disorder that can have a negative impact on your daily life.

This test can be used as a self-assessment tool to identify certain behaviors or thoughts associated with nomophobia. It's important to note that this is not a medical diagnosis, but simply an indicator that could signal a potential cell phone addiction. If someone feels strongly disturbed by these symptoms, it is recommended that they consult a mental health professional for further assessment.
Overcoming nomophobia requires a multifaceted approach that addresses both the psychological and behavioral aspects of smartphone addiction.
The most effective treatments for nomophobia in Türkiye include:
Medication is generally not prescribed as the only treatment option for nomophobia in Turkey. However, if a person suffers from anxiety or another mental health problem in addition to nomophobia, medication may be recommended. In some cases, tranylcypromine and clonazepam, medications generally formulated for anxiety disorders, have been used successfully to treat the symptoms of nomophobia.
It is important to consult a doctor or psychologist in Turkey before making any treatment decisions.

Nomophobia is not yet classified as an official mental illness, but it is recognized as a form of anxiety related to cell phone addiction, which may require psychological follow-up if it disrupts daily life.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most effective treatment for nomophobia. It helps identify and change anxiety-provoking thoughts, reduce phone dependence, and learn strategies for managing anxiety.
