Internet causes depression




                        Dr Pinhas Dannon, psychiatrist from Tel Aviv University's Sackler Faculty of Medicine, and colleagues, have found that those who constantly surf the Internet may soon suffer from anxiety and severe depression.

The research reveals that nearly 10 percent of total Internet users worldwide are suffering from 'Internet addiction disorder', a pathological condition that can lead to anxiety and severe depression.
Internet addiction is a product of modernization, and is just like other addictions, including addiction to coffee, to exercise, or to talking on the mobile phone.
