If you spend a lot of your downtime on your smartphone then it’s probably, yes! May is Mental Health Awareness Month and I believe that we can honor and improve our own mental health beginning with our smartphones.
I always begin with myself before I attempt to give anyone else advice. Honestly, my phone stayed in my hand for more uses than calls and texts.
