Understanding Technology Addiction & Its Treatment
In 2018, the World Health Organization announced "gaming disorder" as a new mental health condition included in the 11th edition of its International Classification.
​
Over 112 million Americans are online with that number expected to increase by 12 million in the next year and new estimates predict that nearly six percent or 11 million of those online users suffer from Internet addiction. The internet is an integral part of modern life and for most internet users its benefits far outweigh the adverse consequences secondary to excessive use.
​
Technology addiction is a new phenomenon which many counselors are unaware of and subsequently unprepared to treat. Technology addiction is described as an impulse control disorder, which does not involve use of an intoxicating drug and is very similar to pathological gambling. Mental health professionals need a basic understanding of technology addiction so that they can recognize it early and intervene appropriately.
​
