Internet Addiction is a Mental Disorder

Internet addiction is a "common" mental disorder and health officials need to recognize it as such, said Dr. Jerald Block in The American Journal of Psychiatry; it is being reported by news.com.au. - - More here

 

So is that mean....I am already having this mental disorder

 

thats what they call it these days?
to me, it's still passion and getting acquainted and becoming mutualistic with the internet

 

so i'm having a mental illness? nono.
I'm not an Internet Addict: i know when to stop and i know my limits. I can turn down the PC whenever i want

 

At what point is it considered addiction and does that include the time that you may spend using the internet while at work?

 

I am addicted to internet,so I am in mental disorder.No problem,I am enjoying this disorder

 

i have no problem with this disorder and I am NOT an addict?

 

Yeah. It is sure. Most of the dp members (me excluded! ) constantly suffer from this mental disorder.
Of course, there is a solution at hand.
Ask the ISPs to disconnect the internet connectivity. Then everything will be alright.
You can see the affected persons (obviously our fellow mates) running madly on the streets with torn clothes

That's means I have a mental condition

 

Internet Disorder, hein? But we are just a few hundreds...! Can't we pass unpunished?

 

Well in this case i'm sick

 

Great stuff well this means in the coming time we will meet each other in the Mental Hospital.

 

I am suffering from this disorder for sure, a few days back I went to doctor as I was suffering from headaches, body pain and stuff, dad told the doc. I sit on the PC for over 15 ours/day, doctor was shocked gave some medicine and asked my dad to take me out of the house in sunlight

Seriously guys this disorder sucks! but I like it

 

follow the 21 day rule
any activity that you perform for 21 days becomes a habit
so try to use computer for only 2-3 hours a day for nearly a month and it will be cured(tested by me )

 

another mental disorder to add to the already huge list

 

proof of the disorder!!

does it require shock treatment ?

 

Every addiction is some kind of disorder. That’s why it call addiction (something, you think can’t live without)

 

Any kind of addiction is dangerous...I've read about many cases of mental disorder, but about internet addiction never...It's something recently concluded, I hope...Do we have a chance to recover from this disorder???
