@DY it is not at all semantics because such addictions existed before the internet calling it an internet addiction is not factual and is incredibly misleading.
@ZeesKite, Csar i have read plenty on the subject and i still maintain my position read the rest of that paper and you will see that i am right. there is a reason why it has not been included by the APA as a disorder (they considered it but decided not to in 2010) – its not actually a distinct disorder. there are many psychologists who agree with me. please do actual research and don’t just google stuff.
