> c i Z g c Z i 6YY^Xi^dc

Since the mid-1990s, when the problem first began to be widely discussed among mental-health professionals, comparisons have been made between excessive computer use and addictions to gambling, drugs or alcohol. There are differences, though, especially as Internet addiction doesn’t usually involve losing money or pose an imminent threat to one’s physical health. Moreover, many experts say that an Internet addiction diagnosis shouldn’t be based mainly on the amount of time devoted to the activity. Instead, they say, what must be examined is the negative effect the activity has on someone’s life. Someone who stays home from school or a job in order to remain online, for instance, or who gains emotional satisfaction only from their gaming or virtual social life, should be considered an addict. Internet addiction is not yet accepted as a mental disorder by the American Psychiatric Association or similar professional organisations elsewhere (though it may soon gain official recognition in China). Despite this, a wide range of treatments is already available for it, including rehabilitation programmes in South Korea, China, the USA and other countries. Critics may point to this as proof that addiction specialists are already benefitting from creating a new group of patients to treat. But that probably doesn’t matter to sufferers like 19-yearold Ben Alexander who, in September 2009, was the first patient at ReSTART, a treatment centre in the USA. He didn’t finish university because of his inability to limit the amount of time he spent playing the video game World of Warcraft. Hopefully, ReSTART will enable Ben to regain control of his life.
