Are you addicted to Internet
January 1, 2009
Internet addiction disorder was initially nothing but a fancy term for people with no factual or medical base. But now, just like gambling, alcoholism and drug abuse, people have started recognizing it as a clinical disorder.
People of any age group after getting hooked to net find it difficult to break free. This is most commonly found in teenagers and young people. In India, IAD came into prominence a few years ago, with IT boom. It is now under spotlight again because of many sociological and psychological reasons.
Do you know that worldwide, IAD sufferers are mostly engaged in five activities- pornography, internet shopping, gaming, virtual social networking and cyber-surfing. Most of those getting hooked on the net are those with above normal IQs. But somewhere along the way, these people lose their rationale.
Do you know that kids too are increasingly getting hooked to internet due to lack of family time and activities that can keep them engrossed in some constructive work. Children these days don’t have much extra-curricular activities to engaged into, so being at home, they bury their noses in books 24/7. They start browsing net due to sheer boredom and before they know it, they are sucked deep into the seemingly exciting cyber world.
But people don’t realize that spending long hours on the Internet jeopardize family and their social life. All the other commitments take a back seat and an addict is totally oblivious to all this, thinking everything is fine.
You will be happy to read that various treatments and deaddiction centers have open up that offer you with psychological and psychiatric help in dealing with this disorder. The withdrawal symptoms which people face during the treatment are irritation, loss of appetite and instability. So don’t fret if you think you are also getting addicted to Internet, remember that help is just a click away!
