I found the suggestion to replace late night gaming with evening walks and pranayama helpful for winding down before bed.

Swapping competitive online matches for board games with friends can provide steady dopamine without the sharp peaks described in the piece.

One wonders if brahmi and ashwagandha really help with the restlessness that comes when cutting back on intense gaming sessions.

The rajas piece in gaming addiction is interesting because it is less about anger and more about that compulsive-chase quality — the next match, the next level. Has the author written anything about distinguishing rajas-dominant from tamas-dominant digital patterns? Those seem like different problems.

In reply to Prakash Pandey. That is a fair point, and I do not think the article is claiming otherwise — it is one person's account, not a trial. But large RCTs on behavioral interventions for screen addiction are rare across the board, not just in Ayurveda.

mental health issues need proper clinical assessment. im not comfortable with Ayurveda being positioned as primary treatment for anxiety disorders.

respectfully, most of these claims need larger RCTs before we can say they’re validated. ठीक है

In reply to Sunita Gupta. Agreed with your practitioner. The rajasic aggravation piece especially — I had the same conversation with mine and she pointed to the same underlying mechanism the author is describing here.
