What Is Internet Addiction Syndrome?
Internet addiction disorder refers to the loss of control or relatively strong dependence on internet use without consuming addictive drugs. To control internet use, one needs to first set clear objectives for internet use, arrange the time for internet use, list the tasks to be completed before going online, and stop using the internet after completing the tasks. Limit daily internet use to within one hour, or control it by forcibly shutting down the device.
1. Internet addiction disorder is an abnormal psychological state that occurs when patients unreasonably, repeatedly, and excessively indulge in the internet, resulting in dependence and addiction to the internet.
2. Internet addiction disorder is a relatively new modern psychological disorder. Patients suffering from it lack effective interpersonal communication and social interaction, and may even stop working or learning, thus becoming detached from the times and lacking mutual communication with others, possibly resulting in a lack of common language with everyone.
3. Patients with internet addiction disorder may experience loneliness, anxiety, depression, pessimism, irritability, agitation, impulsive behavior, and even suicidal tendencies. These are manifestations of internet addiction disorder.
4. Currently, there is no accurate medical definition for internet addiction disorder. However, if a patient spends increasingly longer periods of time on the internet, loses control over their internet use, becomes addicted to online games, and increases the frequency of internet use, it is highly likely that they are suffering from internet addiction disorder.
