INTERNET ADDICTION DISORDER..

Nowadays. there are many of our business will link with internet. So it’s did not weird if have some people can stay up in front of computer around 10 hours a days!!

Netomania is not a recognized disorder, but this popular name for Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) may be affecting some Internet users who spend many hours for gaming, blogging and so on. People who develop problems with their Internet use may start off using the Internet on a casual basis and then progress to using the technology in dysfunctional ways. Many people believe that spending large amounts of time on the Internet is a core feature of the disorder.
No one knows what is the cause of this addiction, but concern by theory, that is cause by the mood-altering potential of behaviors related to process addictions. Therefore, to having features of a process addiction, Internet use might be reinforced by pleasurable thoughts and feelings that occur while the person is using the Internet. People with such other mental disorders or symptoms as depression, feelings of isolation, stress , or anxiety, may "self-medicate" by using the Internet in the same way that some people use alcohol or drugs of abuse to self-medicate the symptoms of their mental disorder.
Other symptoms of addiction may include lack of sleep, fatigue , declining grades or poor job performance, apathy , and racing thoughts. There is little research on the effectiveness of treatment procedures. Many of the procedures that have been used to treat Internet addiction have been modeled after other addiction treatment programs and support groups . Psychological interventions may also help the person identify thoughts and feelings that trigger their use of the Internet. Interpersonal interventions may include such approaches as social skills training or coaching in communication skills. Family and couple therapy may be indicated if the user is turning to the Internet to escape from problems in these areas of life.
