Is your first craving in the morning for your computer mouse or do you obsessively check email in the middle of the night? If so, try to get rid of the habit, otherwise you may soon experience deep depression.
A team of international researchers has found that those addicted to web surfing are afflicted with internet addiction disorder—a pathological condition that can lead to anxiety and severe depression.
"Sufferers of Internet addiction disorder may experience loss of sleep, anxiety when not online, isolation from family and peer groups, loss of work, and periods of deep depression," according to lead researcher Dr Pinhas Dannon.
