WHAT IS ADDICTION TO MOBILE, VIDEO GAMES AND SOCIAL NETWORKS?
Addiction to mobile phones and new technologies is not only a matter for children and adolescents, it is also for adults. The mobile phone or social networks have become a life partner, so much so that many people cannot do without it, not just for a day, but for a few hours and even minutes.
A large use of the mobile phone is not significant that there is an addiction since it is true that many jobs or certain lifestyles require a very high connection to social networks, the Internet, reading documents or calls, which even improves your quality of life. We speak of addiction when symptoms of anxiety, excessive discomfort, nervousness or inability to enjoy arise when we cannot connect to social networks, read messages every so often or have the phone turned off or even with low battery.
In the specific case of mobile phones, there are people who have even developed what is known as Nomophobia, or irrational fear of not having a mobile phone with them.
WHAT ARE YOUR SYMPTOMS?
We could talk about mobile addiction and new technologies when symptoms such as:
- Anxiety
- Stress
- Irritability
- Sadness
- Less interest and pleasure in “real” or face-to-face social relationships
- Isolation
- Insomnia or sleep difficulties
- Obsessive thoughts
TREATMENT OF ADDICTION TO MOBILE, VIDEO GAMES AND SOCIAL NETWORKS
The treatment of addiction to mobile phones, video games or social networks that the Psychologist will carry out will focus on knowing the causes that caused the patient to enter into an overflowing use of these, isolating him from the world around him. Subsequently, the necessary changes will be made so that the person does not need such a massive and excessive use, thus avoiding anxiety and discomfort, and can find satisfaction communicating in another way or doing other types of activities.
