Morocco has a major mental health issue, like many states. According to the Global Mind Report 2023, 25% of Moroccans have mental health issues. The first smartphone ownership age among Moroccans is the driving force behind this trend.
Morocco’s adaptability and resilience are strengths, but its mental health quotient of 64 is average globally. This paper, based on surveys of over 500,000 people worldwide, highlights the psychological effects of the COVID-19 epidemic.
Smartphones early in childhood have a significant impact on the social self. Younger Moroccans with smartphones who have similar symptoms are more likely to discuss suicide or be hostile. Morocco isn’t alone; mental health is still a global issue, especially for adolescents.
Economic expansion does not cure mental illness, contrary to expectations. The Dominican Republic and Tanzania, with a higher number of smartphone owners in the older age bracket, are more likely to succeed than wealthy countries with a large share of younger smartphone users.
Smartphone output is part of Moroccan youth, and mental health is challenging. Being behind on smartphone ownership may be the easiest and most effective mental health improvement. With an uncertain future, understanding the relationship between technology and mental health is crucial to improving society’s health.
