Many people spend a lot of time without knowing themselves on the internet. You may be surprised to know that this is also a type of addiction, which is called Internet Addiction Disorder or IAD.

This IAD can be divided into several parts.
For example: Gaming, Social Networking, Blogging, Email, Internet Pornography, Internet Shopping, etc. Now let's have the symptoms of this addiction...

Mental symptoms:

Feeling guilty, depression or frustration, anxiety, dishonesty, unproductive scheduling, loss of perception about time, loneliness, aggressive attitude towards self-defense, avoiding work

Physical symptoms:

Headache, weight gain or decrease, sleep disturbance, vague vision, trouble to see

Now, about the short and long-term effects of addiction.

Short-term:

Keep work unfinished, forgotten, unable to take responsibility

Long-term:

Back Pain, neck pain, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (acute pain in the finger-fingers of nerve damage), Problems with persistent eyesight

The quality of life for these addictions is damaged in many ways. Mutual love reduction , misunderstandings even in divorce. Also, our various nerves are also damaged while watching the smartphone or PC monitor all the time. Person always becomes a hyper-active, which reflects negatively on all aspects of his own, family, and social settings.

Do you even know, how to recognize it?

Silence:

Being away from the socialism of the real world, when it is offline, want to be online soon after

Mood Modification:

Withdrawal symptoms:

When you are offline, there will be a kind of unpleasant or depressing feeling, in the mind of the suspects, moodiness, and the annoyance will arise.

Conflict:

There will be different kinds of conflicts, such as: jobs , social life protection, or conflict with yourself.

Generally, cyber-sex, cyber relation, computer gaming, these are seen in Young Age. But many exceptions are again a matter of thought. Some online gaming, shopping can be done on the internet at any time when they want to be online. It basically gives the person a kind of feelings, in which he himself is independently and the person is excited, which later became his habit, unaware of the mind.

Psychologists can assess the level of this addiction on different scale. Such as: Chain Internet addiction Scale, Compulsive Internet Use Scale, Problematic and Risky Internet Use Scale, etc.

Now let's talk about how to come back from this addiction

  • Controlling Internet browsing with different types of software, ie content control software
  • Counseling
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
  • Self-awareness and self-control

We all know that in this modern time this internet addiction is very common, even somehow we are connected to it. I hope these few information and advice will help you. Best wishes for you guys. Thanks

For me, it is more of crypto and steemit addiction nowadays :P

great post. Resteemed ✅

At least now though with Steemit we get paid with social media activity. We turned the consumption-based bottom feeding nature of typical social media into (at least for now) a flourishing of ideas.

I feel soon that we need an algorithm change, though. It's tough finding new people unless by post/tag searching extensively.
