When heavy Internet users go offline, they undergo withdrawal symptoms similar to those experienced by drug users. Internet reported increased negative moods after they stopped surfing the net, suffering a “comedown” that researchers said was not unlike that experienced by people after using the drug ecstasy.
Internet addiction has been found to be detrimental to social relationships and jobs, with studies in the past associating it with long-standing depression, impulsive non-conformity, and even autism traits.
