NETOMANIA #@%&*.....??




Netomania ??? In my first thinking when I heard about Netomania, I taught that it is one of the serious disease occurred in certain people. After I had searched the information, Netomania is one of the internet addiction disorder.

Netomania is one of the serious internet addiction disorder. The Internet itself is a neutral device originally designed to facilitate research among academic and military agencies. How some people have come to use this medium, however, has created a stir among the mental health community by great discussion of Internet addiction. Addictive use of the Internet is a new phenomenon which many practitioners are unaware of and subsequently unprepared to treat. Some therapists are unfamiliar with the Internet, making its seduction difficult to understand. Other times, its impact on the individual’s life is minimized.

Netomania crosses the line into a psychiatric disorder when people can not control their own use of the internet. One example is when they are spending abnormal amounts of time on-line. Some netaholics will spend up to 100 hours a week surfing, to the exclusion of other activities, their family, and sometimes even their jobs. There is even the Netaholic Diet. People lose weight because they do not want to stop surfing, even to eat. Getting them to turn off their modem is like asking them to pull the plug on a loved one.

There are other electronic addictions. Addiction to Video Lottery Terminals for example. Television Addiction, Computer Addiction. Usually when there is a problem, of course there have a causes, symptoms, consequences and also treatment. There are a few of causes and symptoms of Netomania. One symptom of Internet addiction is excessive time devoted to Internet use. A person might have difficulty cutting down on his or her online time even when they are threatened with poor grades or loss of a job. There have been cases reported of college students failing courses because they would not take time off from Internet use to attend classes.

Other symptoms of addiction may include lack of sleep, fatigue, declining grades or poor job performance, apathy, and racing thoughts. There are a few negative consequences of a person that had been addicted by internet addiction disorder. Usually, there will faces some familial, academic and occupational problem.
