You can only accelerate the human behavior,

Oh please. “Why are you depressed? Just be happy or you must not be ready for a change. No condescension btw.”
Interesting comparison, because the behavior in question (doomscrolling, inability to manage compulsion, time mismanagement) is definitely linked to ADHD/depression.
Yes, please state your point if you have one.
Treating your health, or having someone close to you tell you it could probably be better, shouldn’t be taboo.

I mean, go ahead and tell the user how to fix their problem with software.
They’re the perfect way to prove your point.
