Research suggests that excessive internet use may be linked to negative effects on mood and relationships. A study published in the journal PLOS One found that people who use the internet problematically tend to experience more stress and have worse moods. This type of internet use is characterized by excessive app use, leading to distress or impairment.

The study, which involved 900 German adults, sheds light on the potential consequences of problematic internet use. Further details on the study's findings are available from the original source, providing insight into the potential risks associated with excessive internet use and its impact on daily life.
