Is you are unable to live without your mobile phone? Does you feel restless whenever there is no WiFi connectivity or lack of Data Package? Then, You might be suffering from 'Nomophobia'!

Researchers have come up with a questionnaire to help people determine if they suffer from nomophobia or a fear of being without your mobile phone. If you are feeling anxious or annoyed or uncomfortable or nervous when you can't access to information through your smartphone, Then you might be a victim of 'Nomophobia'. The participants were asked to react to the questions on a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). Those who attained higher scores are the ones suffering from nomophobia severely.
