A member asked:
I have internet addiction, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
RXunderlying disease: Most "process addictions" - gambling, overeating, sex addiction, internet addiction - are related to underlying anxiety disorders and/or depressive disorders. Some 12-step techniques work for some process addictions, such as gambling, but others, including internet addiction, are usually part of an obsessive-compulsive personality and the underlying disorders needs to be treated. See psychiatrist.
