IS ENTERNET ADDICTION A MENTAL ILLNESS ?
COMPULSIVE emailing and text messaging could soon become classified as an official brain illness. An editorial in this month's issue of the american journal of psychiatry says internet addiction-including "excessive gaming, sexual preoccupations and email/text messaging"-is a common compulsive-impulsive disorder that should be added to psychiatry's official guidbook of mental disorders. Like other addict, users experience cravings, urges, withdrawal and tolerance, requiring more and better equipment and software, or more and more hours online, according to dr. jerald block psychiatrist at the oregon health and science university in portland. Block says people can lose all track of time neglect "basic drives," such as eating or sleeping.
