Smartphones are now everywhere, and doomscrolling seems to be the new norm. With a majority of us hunching over our devices throughout the day, users are occasionally reporting new health issues. Dr Suzi Schulman, a renowned chiropractor, recently posted a reel addressing one such challenge. Schulman highlighted that slouching posture is actually causing anxiety in many people.

“Your posture can actually affect your mood and mental state! People who walk or sit in a slouched position often have increased feelings of depression and unhappiness. So, sit up straight and you may feel more attentive, happy, and confident!” Schulman explained.
