Internet Addiction Disorder

Computer misuse is a growing social issue that is being debated all over the world.
Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) wreaks havoc on people's lives by causing
neurological issues, psychological issues, and social issues. Over time, this causes
significant impairment in an individual's ability to function in various life domains. The
risk of developing an internet addiction disorder is higher in young people. Students
whose academic performance plummets as they spend more and more time online
appear to be particularly vulnerable, according to case studies. Some people suffer
health problems as a result of not getting enough sleep, as they stay up later and later
to chat online, check for social network status updates, or progress through game
levels.

Factors that Contribute to Internet Addiction Disorder

● Excessive use of social media can build a

destructive, uncontrolled cycle. However, the more
frequent use of social media increases Addiction

isolation. In turn, these feelings affect your mood
negatively and exacerbate the symptoms of
depression, anxiety and stress.

● Overspending from time to time and having a

shopping addiction come down to how it affects
your mental health and personal life in the long run.
BSD “buying -shopping disorder” is frequently
associated with financial insecurity and debt, family
conflict over excessive spending, and depression
or anxiety.

game play causes physical damage and increases
player anxiety and depression. Many studies show
that most computer addicts have too much stress
and excitement and high heart rates and high blood
pressure.
● Excessive online gambling has a variety of other
short- and long-term consequences. Gambling
dependence often leads to other addictions that are
used as coping mechanisms for those under stress.
Many gamblers use drugs, alcohol, and other
activities to alleviate the anxiety of gambling. Even
if a player never goes bankrupt by his or her
lifestyle, the rest of his or her lifetime will be
struggling with drug addiction and alcohol addiction
due to self-medication. Relationships are also often
permanently damaged by play.

● Online pornography can adversely affect a

number of factors, including knowledge, attitudes
and beliefs concerning sex, sexual behaviour,
mental health and sexual assault risk. Neurotics,
feeling seeking, anxiety about traits, anxiety at the
state, self control and aggression all influence
excessive video viewing on the Internet.
