It is often associated with underlying issues like depression or social anxiety. Treatment may involve limiting access, monitoring usage, developing coping skills, therapy, and addressing any underlying mental health conditions that contribute to addiction. Getting support and finding healthy activities to substitute for internet use can also help in treatment.
Internet addiction is being considered as a diagnosis for inclusion in the DSM-V. It involves compulsive online computer use and consists of three subtypes: excessive gaming, sexual preoccupations, and excessive email/texting. South Korea considers internet addiction a major public health issue, with over 200,000 children requiring treatment and 1.2 million children at risk. China also recognizes internet addiction as a problem, with around 10 million teenagers meeting diagnostic criteria.

Cyberbullying and Internet addiction by Jhoanne Erika MasayaJhoanneerika
Cyberbullying and internet addiction are growing problems, especially among youth. Cyberbullying involves sending harmful or embarrassing messages about someone online through social media, texts, or other digital means. It can occur anywhere at any time. About 16-21% of students report being cyberbullied. Internet addiction is characterized by excessive internet use that causes problems in a person's life. Warning signs include preoccupation, lying about usage, and mood changes when trying to reduce time online. Both cyberbullying and internet addiction can negatively impact mental health and relationships. Getting help from counselors or trusted adults is recommended for those struggling with these issues.

Internet addiction is described as a type of behavioral addiction where excessive internet use causes impairments. Several types of internet addiction are outlined including addiction to online pornography, social media, gaming, and gambling. Factors that make internet use addictive are things like constant accessibility and the ability to be anonymous online. Physical, social, academic, and psychological complications of internet addiction are explored. The document concludes with an internet addiction self-test and suggestions for managing internet addiction.
Internet addiction can take several forms including cybersex addiction, net compulsions like online gambling or shopping, online relationship addiction, compulsive information seeking, and computer or gaming addiction. Internet addiction can cause physical issues like carpal tunnel syndrome and weight changes as well as emotional problems like depression, anxiety, and social isolation. While social media allows connection, it may also encourage isolation. Reducing internet addiction in society requires awareness and treatment of underlying issues as well as promoting balance in internet use.
The document discusses whether internet addiction should be classified as a mental illness. It provides examples of extreme internet addiction negatively impacting people's health and relationships. Researchers have found internet addiction affects brain areas related to decision making and self-control. While more research is still needed, experts argue internet addiction shares characteristics with substance abuse and should be included in the DSM-V. However, others worry the classification could be overused and more work needs to be done to clearly define internet addiction as a mental illness.
Cyberbullying involves the use of electronic means to bully or harass others. It has become increasingly common among teenagers and can include posting rumors, threats, personal information, or labels about a victim. Awareness of cyberbullying has risen in the United States in recent years due to high-profile cases. Victims may experience lower self-esteem, increased suicidal thoughts, and emotions like fear, anger, and depression. Excessive internet use can be addictive, especially for young people, and may disrupt daily life and have health consequences.

3) The second phase involves cognitive therapy to address denial and combat rationalizations for excessive internet use by challenging cognitive distortions.
4) The third phase applies harm reduction therapy to identify and treat any co-occurring psychiatric issues or relationship problems contributing to internet addiction.

2. What is Addiction?What is Addiction?
“The state of being enslaved to a habit or practice
or to something that is psychologically or physically
habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that
its cessation causes severe trauma.” (
www.dictionary.com)
Individuals become compulsively dependent upon
a particular kind of stimulation.
To the point where attaining a steady supply of that
stimulation becomes the goals of their lives.
Addicts progressively neglect work duties,
relationships and ultimately even their own health
in order to remain stimulated.

6. Causes to Internet AddictionCauses to Internet Addiction
One theory concerns the
mood-altering potential of
behaviors related to process
addictions (similar to a
shopping addiction).
Internet use might be
reinforced by pleasurable
thoughts and feelings that
occur while the person is using
the Internet.
Researchers question the
concept of an "addictive
personality" as such, it is
possible that someone who
has one addiction may be
prone to become addicted to
other substances or activities,
including Internet use
The interactive aspects of the
Internet, such as chat rooms,
e-mail, and interactive games,
seem to be more likely to lead
to Internet addiction than
simply web surfing.
Social or peer dynamics might
prompt excessive Internet use.
Some affected persons may
lack the social skills that
would enable them to meet
people in person rather than
online.

18. TreatmentTreatment
Researchers compared internet addictions
to addictive syndromes similar to impulse-
control disorders on the Axis 1 Scale in the
DSM-IV-TR. Like these impulse-control
disorders,(such as, intermittent explosive
disorder, pathological gambling, and
trichotillimania), cognitive behavioral
therapy (CBT) has shown to be effective.
19. CBT cont.
In the early stages of treatment therapy is
behavioral, focusing on the behaviors
related to the disorder that causes the
greatest difficulty. As therapy progresses
there is a focus is on cognitive distortions
that have developed and the effects of these
on behavior. Finally, problem solving skills
and coping strategies training, modeling,
support groups, and tracking progress
through journals.
20. CBT Cont.CBT Cont.
CBT is based on the premise that
thoughts determine feelings. Patients
are taught to monitor their thoughts
and identify the thoughts that trigger
the addictive feelings and actions to
prevent taking the actions. CBT
typically requires 3 months or
treatment, or about 12 weekly
sessions.
21. Co-morbiditiesCo-morbidities
Research has shown that internet addictions are
common among people of all ages who have mood
disorders, anxiety disorders, impulse control
disorders, and substance misuse disorders. Also
many people who have an internet addiction suffer
from depression, a recent breakdown in a
relationship, and social isolation. These conditions
need to be treated as well. Pharacological
interventions can be used to treat the comorbid
psychiatric disorders, such as depression, along
with CBT.
