Summary

This study tests whether cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can reduce mobile phone addiction and improve anxiety and sleep in hospitalized mental health patients. About 140 participants will receive either CBT sessions plus standard care, or standard care alone. The main goal is to see if phone addiction scores drop after the therapy.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help hospitalized patients reduce mobile phone addiction and improve their mood and sleep.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 140 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and the therapy may not work better than standard care.
