Project Man in Valencia has had to deal with 26 cases of people addicted to the Internet in the last year. It is the nontoxic addiction that most worries experts.
Some of the cases are people addicted to chat, others to online gaming and of course there are those who are addicted to pornography; all at the expense of relationships with family and friends.
The other addiction which causes concern is an addiction to work.
Profiles of the patients
Addicted to the Internet This affects mostly men aged 15 to 40 years. They usually fail to recognise that they have a problem. They get upset and can become aggressive when they are deprived of access to a computer.
Addicted to work Mainly women over 30 with a position of responsibility in their company. They are obsessed with working all hours, because they spend more and therefore need more money.
I'm worried now that writing this blog may have become an addiction for me. I'll try wriing less and see if I become aggressive.
