| Video Discription | Can you be diagnosed with Internet addiction? NBC4’s Ellie Merritt talks to OhioHealth psychiatrist Megan Schabbing about this growing problem, called iDisorder. The “allure of the alert” seems like a present at times. Is it a new email? A text message? For some people, not checking a notification immediately, creates a fear of missing out. Hard-working Westerville resident Dave Selan can relate to this feeling. He describes the need to reach for one’s phone, computer or iPad as a Pavlovian Dog response. With each “ping,” comes an automatic response of checking it out. “It was definitely an addiction,” says Selan of his gadget-induced behavior. “When you hear that sound, when you see that blip, to go check it out to see what’s going on, that is an addiction.” Dr. Megan Schabbing says Internet addiction disorder is growing. It is described as an excessive use of the Internet to the point that it gets in the way of life, hurting your marriage, work or grades – even pushing you to a point of depression. Internet addiction, or iDisorder, was first seen in Asia, in teens who hung out in Internet cafes day and night. And now, according to Dr. Schabbing, we’re seeing an emergence of this disease in the U.S. as people are becoming more digitally connected due to expansions in technology. In Dave Selan’s case, his family finally said, “no more.” He silenced his phone and notifiers and has been better for it, adding that people know they can call him if it’s important. Treatment for Internet addiction can include cognitive behavioral therapy; however, the best way to prevent kids from developing iDisorder is to limit their screen time.
