The Internet has made life a lot easier

by making information more accessible

to all and creating connections with
different people around the world.
However, it has also led a lot of people
to spend too much time in front of the
computer, so much so that it becomes
the center of their lives. This can lead
to an INTERNET ADDICTION.
 INTERNET ADDICTION is
characterized by excessive or poorly
controlled preoccupations, urges or
behaviours regarding computer use and
internet access that lead to impairment or
distress. 
 Do you play video games on the Internet in excess?

Are you compulsively shopping online?

Can’t physically stop checking Facebook?

Is your excessive computer use interfering with your daily

life – relationships, work, and school?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may

be suffering from Internet Addiction.
 Just because you use the Internet a lot
– watch a lot of YouTube videos, shop
online frequently, or like to check social
media does not mean you suffer from
