Psychological well-being of the individual

psychological well-being of a person remains a key topic of scientific discussions, maintaining its importance at all stages of the development of psychology as a discipline. Historically, this concept has been analyzed through the prism of its opposite – mental disorders and maladaptation. However, by the end of the last century, due to the development of the existential-phenomenological paradigm, the scientific community began to reconsider the narrow framework of the medical approach. There was a need to overcome the limitations of the binary scheme "norm-pathology", shifting the focus to the study of personality resources, its ability to self-realization and harmonious interaction with the world. "As a result, it became an impulse for a deep analysis of the phenomenon (in the context of the multifaceted manifestations of human life). Results. Modern research focuses directly on identifying the interrelationships between psychological well-being and individual characteristics: a system of value orientations, the ability to protect personal boundaries, and the choice of life strategies. At the same time, diagnostic methods are being improved, evaluation criteria are being clarified, and standardized questionnaires are being developed. Scientists study both external (social, cultural, technological) and internal (attitudes, emotional patterns) factors that affect the subjective sense of harmony. The study of personality adaptation mechanisms (in the context of digital transformation) is becoming particularly relevant today. Technostress, information overload, and digital socialization require a rethinking of traditional concepts of well–being, which stimulates the search for new models that meet the challenges of the technological era. Technostress is a negative psychological attitude of people towards the introduction of new technologies and the result of behavioral changes caused by the use of gadgets in the office and at home. Ergonomics is related to this phenomenon, the science that studies how people physically react to technology and interact with it in a work environment. Conclusion. The digital age has transformed continuous online presence into the new normal, creating a hidden threat to mental health. Modern man finds himself trapped: the daily barrage of information from messengers, mail, and push notifications gradually depletes internal resources, but the fear of losing control over events forces him to stay in this mode. Such tension develops into chronic technostress, a condition in which the nervous system does not have time to recover. The consequences are manifested not only in the emotional sphere (apathy, outbursts of irritability, obsessive thoughts), but also in bodily reactions: sleep disorders, muscle cramps, decreased immunity. The paradox is that technologies designed to simplify life often become a source of systemic discomfort that requires conscious management of digital habits.
