Would it be appropriate to add "Dr." in front of "Cameron Sepah", since he is a psychologist with a PhD? DiceMaster1018 (talk) 01:33, 15 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
It would be okay but it would probably be better to add that he is a psychologist (more specific than the generic 'doctor').--Tomwsulcer (talk) 09:51, 15 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Digital detox

edit

Is this concept distinct from Digital detox? Should they be merged? Fences&Windows 11:26, 10 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yes I think the two concepts are closely related, essentially saying the same thing, so a merger is well within the realm of possibility. I note that both digital detox and dopamine fasting have roughly equal levels of attention in terms of pageviews, so it is not clear to me which article could be merged into the other one.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 12:44, 10 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
I think the term "Dopamine fasting/detox" is a bit more broad, I have seen it being used for all kind of instant gratification things, including pornography, masturbation, drugs, alcohol and even junk food.[1][2][3] So the digital detox is only one aspect of it. —Arthurfragoso (talk) 18:40, 28 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
I also agree. I rewrote the lead section to eliminate the term to be categorized only as technology addictions. It can be a various forms of addictive and impulsive behaviours. —Engaging Student (talk)--Engaging Student (talk) 03:38, 5 November 2024 (UTC)9:36, 04 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Dopamin spikes and reference 13

edit

The sentence "In the final analysis, it is erroneous to assume that avoiding "dopamine spikes" may upregulate dopamine receptors, causing an "increase in motivation or pleasure"." is referenced by source 13, the article on debunking 6 myths about technology addiction. However, the article does not mention the phrases "dopamine spikes" nor "increase in motivation nor pleasure". Truth4tw (talk) 17:51, 8 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
