Abstract : We have entered the era of the mobile phone. Without knowing the hazards, which may include cancer and other health concerns, using these drugs is not "quite" safe. While research on the cancers caused by mobile phone radiation is accessible, further research on the detrimental psychological and physiological effects is required, particularly for heavy users like college students. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the amount of time students spend on their mobile phones and their psychological well-being in urban educational institutions offering professional courses. Materials and procedures: We randomly chose high school and college students from urban and rural areas and gave them a survey to gauge their thoughts and feelings on the effects of mobile phone use on their well- being. Findings: Headaches were reported by 51.47 percent of patients, followed by irritation and anger at 50.79 and 50.79 percent, respectively. Apathy, poor academic performance, insomnia, and anxiety are among the frequent cognitive disorders. It is crucial to educate young people about the possible mental health hazards of excessive mobile phone usage and advise them to take precautions since they are the most likely to use cell phones often. The reason for this is because the demographic that uses mobile phones the most is the younger generation. Some suggestions include spending less time chatting and more time communicating, as well as reducing dependence on technology.
