Brain Rot was named Oxford's Word of the Year in 2024, the year of our Lord, when we are filming.

腦腐病被評為 2024 年牛津年度詞彙，也就是我們正在拍攝的主的那一年。

2023 年至 2024 年間，使用量猛增 230%。

Does the over-consumption of online content actually deteriorate our brain?

過度消費網絡內容是否真的會讓我們的大腦退化？

Well, Bestie, you would think, absolutely, why wouldn't it?

好吧，閨蜜，你會想，當然，為什麼不呢？

But it's not as straightforward as we thought.

但事情並不像我們想象的那麼簡單。

Dr. Poppy Watson from UNSW's School of Psychology says there's a lack of evidence showing that excessive doom-scrolling is responsible for mental fatigue, lack of focus, and reduced cognitive function, but that the idea is worth exploring.

新南威爾士大學心理學院的 Poppy Watson 博士說，目前還沒有證據表明過度的厄運滾動會導致精神疲勞、注意力不集中和認知功能下降，但這個觀點值得探討。

But wasn't there a study that showed altered gray matter volume in college students with cell phone dependence?

但不是有一項研究顯示，依賴手機的大學生灰質體積發生了變化嗎？

There also has been a growing body of research that suggests our phones can have a negative impact on the structure and function of our brains, which would surprise exactly no one.

此外，越來越多的研究表明，手機會對我們大腦的結構和功能產生負面影響，這一點誰也不會感到意外。

According to Dr. Rich and experts at the Boston Children's Digital Wellness Lab, internet addiction may be a coping mechanism for people who have underlying disorders that lead them to numb themselves with mindless scrolling.

裡奇博士和波士頓兒童數字健康實驗室的專家們認為，網癮可能是患有潛在疾病的人的一種應對機制，這種疾病導致他們用無意識的滾動來麻痺自己。

So brain rot may, in fact, be a symptom rather than a causation.

是以，腦部腐爛實際上可能是一種症狀，而不是病因。

For instance, depression reduces gray matter in the brain and is linked to increased phone addiction.

例如，抑鬱症會減少大腦中的灰質，並與手機成癮的增加有關。

But even though we can't definitively say that doom-scrolling causes brain rot, surely there's other proven negative consequences of overusing your phone, right?

儘管我們還不能斷言 "末日滾動 "會導致大腦腐爛，但過度使用手機肯定會帶來其他負面影響，不是嗎？

Neck pain, back pain, eye strain, bad posture, insomnia, three to four times increased risk of traffic accidents because texty texty.

頸痛、背痛、眼睛疲勞、姿勢不正確、失眠，交通事故風險增加三到四倍。

Not to mention cell phone radiation is very likely carcinogenic.

更不用說手機輻射很可能致癌了。

混雜的告密者會得到混雜的針線。

So it's important for us to self-monitor our own internet dependence and combat potential negative effects.

是以，我們必須對自己的網絡依賴性進行自我監控，消除潛在的負面影響。

Engage in things that increase brain gray matter, like physical activity, learning new skills, and mindfulness meditation.

參與能增加大腦灰質的活動，如體育鍛煉、學習新技能和正念冥想。

Or use tools like Grayscale or app blockers to actively combat the dopamine hijacking systems of our phones and social media.

或者使用灰度或應用程序攔截器等工具，積極對抗手機和社交媒體的多巴胺劫持系統。

Therapy has helped my life in immeasurable ways.

治療給我的生活帶來了不可估量的幫助。

It's taught me tools like emotional regulation, how to interrupt intrusive thoughts, and how to deal with the inevitable ending of relationships of all kinds.

Therapy has helped me know myself, forgive myself, and learn how to operate in the world as a more emotionally mature and boundaried person.

治療幫助我認識了自己，原諒了自己，並學會了如何作為一個在情感上更成熟、更有界限的人在這個世界上生活。

And look, I will say, finding the right therapist is kind of like dating.

聽著，我得說，尋找合適的治療師就像約會一樣。

So someone who could be so off the mark for me may be perfect for you.

所以，對我來說可能很不合適的人，對你來說可能是完美的。

And the most important part of therapy is to find that person who you resonate with, whose advice you value, and who can offer you tools that are nuanced and suited to your life.
