Internet Addiction Test 1.0.1

Internet addiction is increasingly recognized as a behavioral health concern characterized by an unhealthy dependence on internet usage. While this phenomenon has garnered considerable attention in Asian countries, notably South Korea, it is gaining traction in Western nations as well.

Often referred to as Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD), Problematic Internet Use, or Pathological Internet Use, this condition typically manifests as compulsive internet engagement, leading to significant impairment across various aspects of an individual's life over an extended period.

The ramifications of internet addiction are multifaceted, impacting mental health, social interactions, and physical well-being. Therapeutic interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing have shown effectiveness in addressing this issue.
