Internet Addiction
Internet addiction is becoming increasingly prevalent in today's rapidly evolving digital world.
It is characterized by compulsive internet use leading to significant negative consequences in various aspects of the addicted individual’s life. The scope of the problem is broad, affecting diverse age groups, from teenagers spending excessive time on social media to adults unable to disconnect from online work or internet gambling.
Understanding Internet Addiction
Internet addiction manifests through an excessive need to be online, difficulties controlling the time spent on the internet, and feelings of anxiety, frustration, or depression when trying to limit internet access. Addicted individuals may experience deterioration in relationships with family and friends, problems at work or school, and negative physical and mental health outcomes.
