Battery Life Anxiety (BLA) An increased level of stress and worry brought about by the fear that a person’s cell phone battery will not last until the end of the day, leaving the individual without the use of a cell phone. The increased anxiety usually begins when the individual first leaves his or her place of residence and notices that the cell phone is not fully charged. Throughout the day, the individual will repeatedly check the cell phone’s battery level, causing the battery to loose life at a quicker pace. Additionally, the individual will alter his or her normal cell phone usage in order to save some battery life for the rest of the day or night. Recommended therapy to treat Battery Life Anxiety: Unfortunately there is no evidence-based treatment currently recommended by mental health physicians to treat BLA. However, the individual can take preventative mesures to slow the spread of the anxiety: 1) Make sure that the cell phone gets charged at night or in the morning before he or she leaves the house, 2) Close all applications that the individual is not currently using in order to prevent unnecessary battery usage, and 3) realize that humans have existed for thousands of years prior to the creation of the cell phone and going a few hours without one is perfectly normal. Please submit any and all questions or concerns about BLA to your local mental health physician. Thank you.
