Indispensable addict: Internet addiction is a serious problem, gravity of which is being realized today, 20 years after it was introduced to households. Internet addiction can be hard to treat as it is not dispensable in the same manner drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and gambling are. Cognitive behavioral therapy, individual & group consulting may be effective. Underlying depression, if present, should be treated.
