We’ve looked at how the use of computers can affect our health physically, but is there a possibility that it could also be affecting us mentally? Excessive gaming, emailing, texting, surfing and instant messaging have been identified as causes of obsessive-compulsive disorders. Excessive use is often associated with a loss of sense of time or a neglect of basic drives.

There are three different types of internet addiction: the first is Cyber Relational Addiction – addiction to chat rooms, instant messaging and social network sites can lead to online friends becoming more important to an individual often at the expense of real life relationships with family or friends. This could lead to broken relationships and family instability. The second is Net Compulsion: addiction to online gambling, gaming and sites like e-bay. Addicts can become so absorbed that they begin to lose excessive amounts of money and this could affect job responsibilities and relationships. Third is an overload of information: with the various search engine sites and the wealth of information available on the internet, the World Wide Web is creating a type of compulsive disorder. Excessive searching and surfing could steer them away from real life duties consequently leading to reduced work productivity and obsessive, compulsive tendencies.
