Internet Addiction Symptoms!!





Like any other compulsive behaviour such as gambling, spending long hours on the internet to shop, browse or game, can produce a rush of dopamine, the brain chemical associated with pleasure. This creates an experience that is similar to that of a drug-induced high, which can be the catalyst for developing symptoms of internet addiction.

This scenario can lead you to build up a tolerance, meaning that you will need to spend more hours online in order to achieve the same effects. Excessive use of social media, gaming, or even online shopping usually indicates that a problem with internet misuse exists, and it can be difficult to break a negative cycle of excessive internet use, which ultimately impacts on other aspects of your life.

Priory’s treatment for internet addiction aims to reduce the impact of compulsive internet use through a combination of self-help groups and counselling focused on abstinence and gradual reduction of internet use over time. We are also able to offer a 12-Step rehabilitation programme which can be effective for the more severe cases of internet addiction, providing sufficient tools for life as a recovering addict, with support from others who share the same experiences.
