From homosapiens to FOMOsapiens __ a theory conceptualized in an invigorating talk by Dr. Khurram Sadiq, a leading psychiatrist from UK who addressed the audience as addicts of screen time. In an eye-opening session, he made the audience aware of the feel-good chemical dopamine which is released when viewing screens on an average of 200 times a day. The fear of missing out called FOMO replaces family and personal relationships with a desire to always be vigilant about the world around them. He also highlighted the importance of spreading awareness of mental health which becomes affected as a result. His interaction with the attendees in the networking break was quite beneficial.
