Internet addiction is characterized by excessive or poorly controlled preoccupations with computer and internet use that causes impairment or distress. It is highest in the Philippines, especially among adolescents, and is associated with risky online behaviors. Internet addiction occurs when internet use negatively impacts relationships, work, health, or other areas of life. While not officially recognized, some propose classifying internet gaming disorder as a psychiatric condition due to unhealthy gaming patterns. Symptoms include increasing time spent online, mood issues when offline, and unsuccessful attempts to control usage. Those at risk include males, adolescents, and people with social or mental health issues. Tips to overcome internet addiction include admitting the problem, seeking therapy, limiting smartphone use, socializing offline, changing communication patterns

Cyber bullying involves using technology like social media, texting, or online chat to harass, embarrass, threaten or humiliate others, especially youth. It can have serious psychological effects like depression and low self-esteem, and in some cases has led to suicide.
