Is Disconnecting From the Internet the Key to Better Mental Health?

The pervasiveness of internet use and its impact on mental health is a growing concern. A recent short video by timetoknow69 highlights this issue, suggesting a radical solution: disconnecting from the internet. The video uses a series of quick cuts showing individuals experiencing stress and anxiety linked to their online activity. One scene depicts a person overwhelmed by notifications, while another shows someone comparing their life to idealized online portrayals. The video's creator states, "Больше не нужно ходить к психотерапевту – достаточно выключить интернет." (There's no need to go to a psychotherapist—just turn off the internet.) While the video's approach is simplistic, it touches upon a very real problem. The creator's call to disconnect and find peace in the absence of online pressures resonates with the growing number of people seeking digital detox strategies. The video concludes by inviting viewers to join their Telegram channel for more exclusive content. The video's simplicity and strong message make it a good starting point for a discussion about the mental health implications of constant internet connectivity.
