TODO - The importance of recognizing the symptoms of Internet addiction
constitutes the first step for treatment. Internet use can be
pathological, and the percentage of addicted people is increasing while
people become dependent on technology and Internet continues to develop.
This study is a systematic litterature review. An electronic literature
search was conducted using as keywords internet addiction, psychological
implications, internet abuse etc. to the following databases: Medline,
PubMed and Google Schoolar. The majority of research was conducted in
Europe and in North America. We found 20 surveys. 9 were excluded on the
basis of screening due to full text articles were not available. The
final number of included surveys was 11. Hospitals and clinics have to
emerge with outpatient treatment services for Internet addiction
recovery, and in some cases there may be a need for addiction
rehabilitation centers as admitted from people with Internet addiction
into inpatient care.
