Internet addiction is as dangerous as other "extreme addictive disorders" including gambling, sex addiction and kleptomania, according to Israeli researchers.
Quote:
Two groups are at greatest risk from internet addiction disorder, according to Dr Dannon. The first is teenagers. But more surprisingly, the second is women and men in their mid-50s suffering from the loneliness of an "empty nest".
I could have TOLD them we were all addicted...didn't have to study it!!! Liz
You know me, I don't like to BRAG about my credentials . But as the former CEO of CD Addicts Anonymous, I commissioned the study to gain a deeper perspective on the matter and to try and figure out why teens, and men and woman in their 50's were getting HOOKED !!
I have found the REASON and also the CURE, but I am NOT at liberty to discuss this matter further due to confidentially agreements on behalf of my company and Hersheys (oops, I did not mean to divulge that info, so please keep it on the 'hush hush' thank you very much)!
For now though, I am using Talk Therapy as noted in the article to help my clients !! If you PMS me , I will send you my TOLL FREE number, so that you can be Internet Addiction free by Christmas * !!! Satisfaction is not guaranteed.
"The symptoms of internet addiction in both groups are vague and often difficult to diagnose. Sufferers may experience loss of sleep, anxiety when not online, isolation from family and peer groups, loss of work and periods of deep depression.
Treating internet addiction can only be done effectively if the condition is treated like any other "extreme and menacing addiction".
For example, a clinician could use talk therapy or prescribe medication such as Serotonin blockers and Naltrexone, which are also effective against kleptomania and pathological gambling."
