The Symptoms of Internet Addiction Disorder
Internet addiction disorder refers to the problematic use of the Internet, including the various aspects of its technology, such as electronic mail (e-mail) and the World Wide Web.
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 may also be a decreased investment in social relationships and activities. A person may lie about how much time was spent online or deny that they have a problem. They may be irritable when offline, or angry toward anyone who questions their time on the Internet.

Good day! I've read about your post "The Symptoms of Internet Addiction Disorder". Actually, I've experienced having that kind of disorder. I'm an online games and social networking sites addict. I've experience those syptoms having poor grades and lack of sleep. But now I know how to control my gaming habit and using those social networking sites. But most of my friends playing on the internet cafe can't control their selves. Some of them do not go to school and don't attend their classes instead they go to internet cafes and spend their whole day on the internet. I hope the parents of these individuals can recognized that their children are having those sypmtoms of internet addiction so that as early as possible they can help their children to this kind of disorder.
