Addiction is a habit that has gone out of control. Short term pleasures that require little effort, like social media, food, and TV, are more likely to become habits than activities requiring sustained effort, like learning an instrument. When engaging in these short term pleasures, one receives pleasure but it quickly ends, prompting repetition without moderation and leading to addiction. Internet addiction can negatively impact relationships, work, finances, and school by causing isolation, distrust, alternate online personas, and avoidance of responsibilities. Work addiction stems from a need for status, success, or stress avoidance, and like other addictions, it involves an inability to stop the compulsive behavior despite negative consequences.

7. What are the effects of Internet Addiction
Disorder?
If you are suffering from this disorder, it might be affecting your personal
relationships, work life, finances, or school life. Individuals suffering from this condition
may be isolating themselves from others, spending a long time in social isolation and
negatively impacting their personal relationships. Distrust and dishonesty issues may
also arise due to Internet addicts trying to hide or deny the amount of time they spend
online. In addition, these individuals may create alternate personas online in an
attempt to mask their online behaviors. Serious financial troubles may also result from
avoidance of work, bankruptcy due to continued online shopping, online gaming, or
online gambling. Internet addicts may also have trouble developing new relationships
and socially withdraw – as they feel more at ease in an online environment than a
physical one

8. When work becomes an addiction-
Work addiction, often called workaholism, is a real mental health condition. Like any other addiction, work
addiction is the inability to stop the behavior. It often stems from a compulsive need to achieve status and
success, or to escape emotional stress. Work addiction is often driven by job success. And it’s common in
people described as perfectionists.
Much like someone with a drug addiction, a person with a work addiction achieves a “high” from working. This
leads them to keep repeating the behavior that gives them this high. People with a work addiction may be
unable to stop the behavior despite the negative ways it may affect their personal life or physical or mental
health.
