S'poreans hit by 'mobile phone syndrome' (edmund)

Summary
A report shows that singaporeans are constantly thinking that their mobile phones are ringing, reported Sin Chew Daily.
It said that a random survey of 50 people found that some 80 per cent of them suffered from the mobile phone syndrome.
They would check their mobile phones incessantly to see if they were ringing or if there were any missed calls or messages.
A psychiatrist blamed this syndrome on stress.
'Such people should learn to relax to avoid stress taking over their daily life,' said the psychiatrist.
The psychiatrist advised sufferers to switch off their mobile phones or avoid answering their phones for a period of time.

Why I choose this article
I choose this article because i also want to check if i have the following syndrome too. To my shock, i think i have the same syndrome as what the report has written. I have check many times for my handphone when i thought someone had call me but in face there wasn`s anybody calling me.

If I Were To Control The Situation....
If i am the government, i will give the students less school hour so that they will be more relax and also make the school system less competitive. In this way, Singaporeans will be more happy and will have a better standard of living.

Quesion i have to ask..
I want to ask the psychiatrist why they want to blame this syndrome on stress and not other factors.
