A member asked:
I would like help with computer addiction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is help: For what are called behavioral or "process" addictions. However, getting a full mental health evaluation would be where i would start, and any competent psychiatrist/psychologist would be able to point you in the right direction. Computer addiction can be a form of paraphilia - a sexual fixation, or it can be part of an obsessive-compulsive pattern. Treatment depends on the cause.
