Abstract
Consider social media and gaming addiction as diseases and consider their harmful effects on the user’s health. This research introduces a PUARL epidemic model to prevent their spread among the population through psychological awareness. It calculates the basic reproduction number, analyzes stability, and conducts a sensitivity analysis. The study emphasizes the importance of psychological factors in preventing addiction, highlighting the role of psychological awareness.
