Topics
@Anna Lembke : 近年来,数字成瘾问题日益严重,尤其是在青少年群体中。这主要是因为数字媒体提供了便捷、强烈且持续的刺激,重塑了大脑的奖赏机制,导致人们难以控制对数字媒体的消费。不同类型的成瘾(如酒精、毒品、色情、游戏等)对个人的影响因人而异,取决于个人的基因、环境和所沉迷的事物。虽然人们对酒精危害的认识有所提高,但设计师毒品和网络成瘾的兴起也带来了新的挑战。此外,人们容易沉迷于来自陌生人的肯定,因为互联网和社交媒体放大了这种肯定的效力,使其成为一种强效的“毒品”。成瘾往往导致孤独,而非孤独导致成瘾;成瘾会让人用药物或行为替代人际关系。近年来,数字媒体成瘾(包括视频游戏、社交媒体、网络赌博等)呈上升趋势,网络赌博对男性造成的危害可能比网络色情更严重。赌博成瘾是一种严重的脑部疾病,可能危及生命。广泛存在的低水平成瘾行为(如回避社交、沉迷于数字媒体)可能比传统意义上的成瘾更具破坏性。为了预防成瘾,需要创造既能获得健康快乐,又能提供足够挑战的环境。判断青少年是否成瘾,应关注其行为是否失控、强迫性、渴望以及后果,但需注意,青少年可能善于隐藏成瘾行为。GLP-1药物在治疗成瘾方面具有潜力,但并非对所有人都有效。 @Scott Galloway : 我观察到,许多年轻人用摇头丸、氯胺酮等替代酒精,这反映了人们对物质危害的认知偏差。此外,我关注到网络赌博对年轻男性造成的严重危害,其隐蔽性和高自杀率令人担忧。我提出了一种应对成瘾的策略,即鼓励年轻人积极参与社交活动,面对拒绝,并从中学习和成长。不断尝试,面对拒绝是走向成功的关键,因为拒绝是通往成功的必经之路。
