Internet Addicts Suffer Depression
Dear Reader,
Today, surfing the web has become as accepted and mainstream as going to the movies, out to dinner or for drinks after work. However, for a small number of users, the internet becomes more than a way to get information, shop or stay connected... the web becomes a consuming passion that takes up increasing amounts of time, energy and focus.
For those who come to rely on the internet to socialize online via social networking sites, message boards and chat rooms instead of meeting people face-to-face, new research out of the UK finds that the risk of depression is higher than for other users of the world wide web.
There's no doubt that the Internet is a big part of modern life, but there are darker sides to the technology according to lead study author Catriona Morrison of the University of Leeds. "While many of us use the Internet to pay bills, shop and send e-mails, there is a small subset of the population who find it hard to control how much time they spend online, to the point where it interferes with their daily activities."
The work, the first large scale study of its kind, appears in the February 10, 2010 issue of Psychopathology and involved 1,319 subjects aged 16 to 51 whose internet usage was evaluated as part of the research.
Eighteen, 1.2% of them, were identified as addicted to the Internet. The number might seem small, but it is larger than levels of other addictive behaviors, such as gambling, and has the researchers urging for internet addiction to be recognized as a distinct medical disorder.
In the study, young people were more likely to be addicted to the internet than middle-aged users, with 21 being the average age of the addicted group. The study sounds a warning that over-indulging in websites that replace normal social interaction might also be linked to problems like depression and addiction.
When it comes to what those hooked on the net were doing, your guess is correct. The internet addicts spent proportionally more time browsing online gaming sites, sexually gratifying websites and online communities.
Those classified as internet addicts also had a higher incidence of depression, either moderate or severe, according to the researchers. No one can say if the Internet use causes the depression, or if depressed people are naturally drawn to the web, but the association is there.
"Our research indicates that excessive Internet use is associated with depression, but what we don't know is which comes first: Are depressed people drawn to the Internet, or does the Internet cause depression?" Morrison says. "What is clear is that, for a small subset of people, excessive use of the Internet could be a warning signal for depressive tendencies."

Internet Addicts Suffer Depression Continued...
And while feeling down every once in a while is a normal part of life, when that sense of emptiness and despair takes hold, and won't go away, you need to seek help.
If you're wondering how your own online habits stack up... there is no one magic number because so many of us need the internet for different things. Instead, try and answer these questions honestly.
1. Are you more comfortable with your online friends than your real friends?
2. Can you not stop yourself from playing a game, gambling or just surfing the net?
3. Are you neglecting other things - work, kids, exercise or chores etc - to be online?
If you're answering, "yes" to any one of the three, it's time to make some changes and try to strike a better balance between your online time and offline time.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
