| description | The digital era has introduced mental health challenges, especially for youth. Despite increasing awareness, comprehensive analyses of these challenges remain limited. This study collects and examines the prevalence of 15 key mental health challenges related to digital engagement, based on a sample of 555 participants. The prevalence of these challenges varied, with pressures related to parenting, hoarding, and inappropriate content being the most common, affecting 60.13%, 52.76%, and 45.39% of the participants, respectively. The research also highlights gender and age differences, noting that males report higher levels of issues like FOMO and Nomophobia compared to females. Adults (18+) face more severe challenges, such as memory decline, while younger individuals report fewer problems. Correlation analysis revealed significant relationships between several mental health challenges, such as Nomophobia and TAD (r = 0.68) and FOMO and TAD (r = 0.50), indicating that individuals experiencing one challenge are likely to face others. A decision tree analysis was used to predict mental health challenges by examining the relationships between different mental health conditions, uncovering specific patterns and rules associated with the occurrence of these challenges. Additionally, cluster analysis in this study identified distinct population segments, with 21% of individuals falling into a cluster that experiences severe mental health challenges. The findings suggest that a significant portion of the population is at risk for severe mental health issues, highlighting the need for targeted interventions. |
