Digital mental well-being involves multiple factors that influence our psychological reactions. Key elements include our expectations from digital interactions, such as sharing thoughts on social media and anticipating responses. Positive reactions can enhance our well-being, while negative responses can harm it. SKOCH Centre of Excellence has deliberated on Digital Mental Wellness Framework after studying it across UK, France, Germany, US, Canada, Brazil and India.
These interactions are not passive; platforms are designed to engage users, often leading to addictive behaviours.
This dynamic interaction can affect us through direct and indirect pathways, including physical, financial and educational challenges.
The expert group has worked on creating a framework for Digital Mental Wellness. There are sub-domains, for example, content-based mental health issues and following the overall format, it has been divided into sub-themes and the performance of countries has been assessed on that.
