INTERNET ADDICTION BETWEEN TRUTH AND ILLUSION

Internet addiction between truth and illusion 

Perhaps the first thing that draws your attention dear reader is that how can I publish an article on internet addiction on a website, and in this view I summarize it in two points. The first is that a person with Internet addiction often sits on the Internet and will definitely see this article.

I believe that the treatment of Internet addiction is in the Internet itself, just as we treat the patient with an extract from the same disease or the fungus itself.

Second, at this time, it is hard not to use internet specially to those who work on internet and make money. For example, there are people who work on e-commerce sites or those who work in customer service on the Internet or Who sends money to his family on the Internet. The Internet is really like water and air.

Overview of the concept of Internet addiction

The problem actually begins when the users sit on the Internet with no apparent goal or purpose which known as internet addiction. Morahan and Martin Schumacher both defined internet addiction as the intensive use of the Internet, with no apparent benefit to the individual's life and inability to control it.

So we have two basic criteria for Internet addiction:

The number of hours spent on the Internet.
The purpose of using the Internet.
It is important to note that Internet addiction does not include the following:

Addiction to watching pornographic films, as it is another subject falls under the so-called wrong use of the Internet, which is also addictive but of another kind.

Or sitting for long hours on the Internet for work, for example, there is a clear goal and a clear feasibility for those who use the Internet.

The similarity between alcoholism, drugs and Internet addiction:


Scientists are talking about a substance called dopamine, which studies say that is a substance which makes a person feel happy when he/she does something he likes. 

How do I know that I suffer from Internet addiction?

You have two basic ways of knowing whether you are an Internet addict or not:


Method 1: Without recourse to a psychologist.

Bring a notebook to record your day's events in terms of the number of hours. Write down the goal of sitting online. For example, if you found yourself spending eight hours a day without a clear and meaningful goal for your life, you are an Internet addict but do not be afraid. Internet addiction can be classified in particular stages which are the first, intermediate and chronic stages. 
You have to reduce these hours you spend on online .But if you feel unable to change yourself, then you should go to a specialist.

Method 2: Go to Behavioral Psychologist.

If you are unable to know the level of your Internet addiction or if you are sure that you are already suffering from Internet addiction at an advanced level, you may want to go to a behavioral psychology. In the implementation of the programs and duties that will be given by the specialist, you will get the result from the first treatment sessions.

It is very important to remind you that Internet addiction is not a disease in the traditional sense but is classified under the so-called psychological disorders.
