This case study is about a 37 year old woman, referred by a senior clinical psychologist with complaints of having the feeling of being monitored through a device and hearing the voices of the people. The brief therapeutic plan was based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which focused on developing insight, identifying cognitive errors, and enhancing her socialisation skills. This case report holds its implications to drift the attention of the readers and clinicians toward the issue of consuming content that may potentially have an impact on its reader’s mental health.
