Now, when various gadgets have ceased to be exotic and in each apartment there are 2 or even 3 laptops, dependence on the computer has become an urgent problem. Many people do not even suspect that they are already in this state and urgently need to take measures to eliminate it.
Psychology of dependence
Any dependence is formed gradually, this state can not arise at once, and therefore a person often does not even notice that his whole life is subordinated to the fact that he is just waiting for time to get behind the monitor screen. The pleasure center in the human brain is responsible for the formation of this state.
To date, there are several types of dependence on these technical devices, for example, it is common to share Internet addiction (satologism) and gambling, that is, a painful attachment to computer games.
Dependence on gadgets or the Internet requires the help of a specialist. It is impossible to deal with the problem independently, because a person may simply not understand that his passion has developed into too strong an attachment.
Signs of dependence
Psychologists believe that a person who spends on entertainment on the Internet or playing more than 2 hours a day is already at risk. To identify the problem simply, it is only necessary to understand whether you observe the following conditions in yourself or your relatives:
- behavior change associated with the fact that a person begins to be interested only in computers, games or gadgets;
- dependence of mood on the presence or absence of a particular technique or the Internet;
- a gradual increase in the time that a person spends on a laptop.
These are the main symptoms that say that it's time to "sound the alarm". If you notice at least 2 of them, you should immediately contact a specialist.
