[quote=Anonymous]OP, is it possible that your wife has ADHD? The people with ADHD who I know are not addicted to their phones at all. However, what you described made me think of ADHD (sleep issues, challenges with emotional self-regulation when you say something about the phone use, being on the phone often possibly as a way to deal with boredom, etc). ADHD can cause self-regulation challenges. Depression is another possibility, given that she is withdrawing socially and has sleep issues. Asking your wife why she's on her phone often, in a non-judgmental and open way, may be helpful. And suggesting that she can see a mental health professional in a non-judgmental way, if possible.
