Do you think is Internet addiction as serious as drugs ?

[neerajchauhan]

Crack-berry is no joke. College students are hooked on cell phones, social media and the Internet and showing symptoms similar to drug and alcohol addictions, according to a new study.

Internet addiction is currently classified by mental health professionals as an obsessive compulsive disorder, a mind to mild to severe mental health condition that results in an urge to engage in ritualistic thoughts and behavior, such as excessive hand washing or in case of internet, web surfing.

An addiction to the Internet is bigger than an urge – it's a deep craving. Internet addiction should be classified with other extreme addictive disorders, such as drug addiction or alcohol addiction.

Yea it is truth that internet addiction is very danger to one's mental and physical health. Informative resources, collaboration, socialization and entertainment are the main items which attracting one to the internet. The variety of entertainment spots available in the internet is the key factor by which most of the persons are becoming addicted to internet.

The ultimate aim of using drugs is to get ultimate pleasure and here also each one seeking for the same pleasure.
