Internet Addiction Treatment
There were several main aspects of Internet addiction treatment: 1. ** Make a plan for surfing the Internet **: Arrange the time for surfing the Internet reasonably. For example, use the Internet as a way to relax after completing your studies or work tasks. Control the amount of time you spend surfing the Internet every day to avoid being addicted to the Internet for a long time. 2. ** Find alternative activities **: Carry out other interesting activities such as reading, painting, music, etc. to divert attention and reduce reliance on the Internet. 3. ** Strengthened physical exercise **: This helps to improve physical fitness and alleviate physical and mental fatigue caused by long-term surfing the Internet. 4. ** Seek professional help **: If the above methods are not effective, you can seek the help of a professional counselor. Through psychological consultation and other methods, find out the reason for being addicted to the Internet and solve it. 5. [Enhancing self-control: This is the key to getting rid of internet addiction. Although the process may be long, if you persist, you will be able to get rid of internet addiction.] In addition, parents also played an important role in their children's withdrawal from internet addiction. Parents should adhere to two basic principles when communicating with their children about game addiction: First, don't comment or blindly stop them. Don't casually comment on the child's love for games to avoid arousing the child's rebellious psychology, and don't rush to stop the child from playing games directly. When the child's interest in games weakens, guide the child to do other things. First, find interest or recognition from things that are not related to learning, and then return to learning; The second was to deal with both the symptoms and the relationship. When parent-child negotiations, they should be clear about their own bottom line, seek common ground while reserving differences, only talk about one thing at a time, do not bring up old scores, do not make unnecessary extension, maintain emotional stability and set an example, take turns to express with the child, listen to each other's explanation, and clearly define the reward and punishment index.
Internet Addiction Forced Treatment
The treatment of internet addiction should follow the principles of science and humanity. Forced treatment is not recommended. From the perspective of treatment methods, Internet addiction treatment was a comprehensive and individual process. First, the patient's psychology and behavior must be evaluated to grasp the condition and treatment process. Psychotherapy, behavior therapy, medication, and other targeted treatments can be carried out. For example, meaningful alternative behaviors could be used in behavior therapy, such as social skills training, exercise therapy, music therapy, etc. Drug therapy needed to select appropriate drugs to relieve symptoms and help patients return to normal living conditions. At the same time, close cooperation between the patient and his family or friends was also very important. In history, there were methods like Yang Yongxin's electroshock therapy to forcefully treat internet addiction, which was inappropriate and would cause great physical and mental damage to the patient. Family therapy originated in the 1950s. It was an effective treatment model from the perspective of the family system. Its goal was to help the family eliminate abnormalities and morbid conditions in order to carry out healthy family functions. This method used the power of the family to change family members. It was of great significance to solve the psychological barriers of children and teenagers. It was more scientific and reasonable than compulsory treatment.
Is gaming addiction a disease?
In 2018, the World Health Organization defined gaming addiction as a mental illness. It is a continuous or relapsing game behavior (number game or video game, may be online or offline), features include impaired game controls (such as lack of self-control over the frequency, intensity, duration, termination time, situation, etc. of playing), overly high emphasis on the game (taking precedence over other life interests and daily activities), and continuing to play or even increasing the intensity of the game despite the negative effects. This behavior pattern lasted for at least 12 months and was serious enough to cause serious damage to personal, family, social, educational, professional, or other important functional areas. The main symptoms were being completely focused on the game, feeling anxious and irritable when stopping the game, increasing the time spent playing the game, being unable to reduce the time spent playing the game, giving up other activities, focusing on the game despite knowing the impact, hiding the time spent playing the game, relieving negative emotions through the game, losing work or social skills due to the game, and so on.
The solution to gaming addiction
Gaming addiction can be solved in the following ways: 1. ** Guide your child to understand learning correctly **: As a parent, you must learn to guide your child correctly and convey the correct message to let the child understand that learning is for themselves and not for their parents. However, this is mainly for children who are addicted to games. 2. ** Stimulate learning interest **: For children who are addicted to games, you can reduce their dependence on games by stimulating their interest in learning. 3. ** A way to vent their emotions **: When a child is addicted to games, providing a way for them to vent their emotions will help solve the problem. 4. ** Give care, companionship, and cultivate self-control **: Parents should give their children enough care and companionship. At the same time, they should cultivate their children's self-control and ability to manage their own time from an early age. This is mainly for children who are addicted to games. 5. ** Build a positive attitude towards life **: Through positive psychology education, children can be helped to build a confident, optimistic, and pressure-resistant attitude towards life to solve the problem of children's game addiction. 6. ** Stay away from the gaming environment **: Addicts can download games from their phones and computers, control the time they spend on their phones and computers every day, hand over their phones to others for safekeeping, and restrict themselves from playing games. They can no longer go to the gaming hall. 7. ** Cultivate new interests and hobbies **: For example, reading, writing, listening to music, singing, painting, traveling, etc., so that you can come into contact with new things and shift your attention to other aspects of the game. 8. ** Seeking medical treatment **: If your gaming addiction is severe and you can't control it, you can consider seeking medical treatment to help you get rid of your gaming addiction through psychological or psychotherapy. 9. ** Diversion **: You can find other alternative activities, such as outdoor activities when you really want to play games, watching videos while walking, listening to music, etc., to reduce the stimulation of the game. The first seven days were the critical period in this process, and repetitions were allowed. As long as the game time and frequency gradually decreased, there was no need to blame yourself. 10. ** Reduce game excitement **: You can adopt a gameplay method that limits interaction, such as not checking in, not drawing, not receiving gold coins, not receiving props, etc. You can also set rules for yourself, such as not choosing a character. The first character given by the system will be the default character. During the game, you will follow a path and gradually deceive the brain, thereby reducing the excitement brought by the game. Through rationality, you can overcome the addictive design set by the game manufacturer. 11. ** Reduce curiosity **: For games that clear the game, you can check the scenes after clearing the game online. Just like how you can see spooks to solve your addiction to watching dramas, you can reduce the suspense and burden of the game and movies. 12. ** Enriching Life **: Understand the principle that there is no good in idle life, enrich your life, including reading, exercise, etc., and make some plans to avoid doing nothing all day. 13. ** Cultivate small good habits **: Gradually increase your control over your life by cultivating some small habits, such as doing a few jumping jumps and push-ups every day. Don't be greedy for the number of good habits, just two. Reduce bad habits by cultivating good habits.
The standard of gaming addiction
The criteria for gaming addiction were as follows: 1. Losing control of the game, such as not being able to control the start, end, and duration of the game; being too focused during the game, playing the game for longer and longer without delay (playing the game takes priority over other things). 2. When the game failed or did not play the game, he was anxious and irritable. He knew the dangers of being addicted to the game but could not control himself. He hid the time he played the game from his family and friends. He released his emotions through the game. 3. Games became a priority in life, and even if games caused negative consequences (such as broken interpersonal relationships, career or academic impact, health damage, etc.), they could not be stopped; they had no other hobbies outside of games; and they lost basic social and work abilities. 4. According to the core characteristics of gaming disorder mentioned in the International classification of diseases, continuous or repeated gaming behavior patterns, which were specifically manifested as uncontrollable gaming behavior, were the main characteristics of gaming disorder.(e.g., unable to control the occurrence, frequency, duration, termination time, etc. of gaming behavior); Gaming behavior patterns can be continuous or paroxysm and last for 12 months, but if the symptoms are severe enough and other key diagnosis points are met, the duration can be shorter than 12 months; Gaming behavior patterns cause obvious personal, family, interpersonal relationships, academic, professional, or other important functional areas.
Youth Internet Addiction Treatment Center
There were some institutions in the country that claimed to be able to help teenagers get rid of internet addiction, such as Neute Education, Escort Growth Education College, and Zhengmiao Qide behavior correction school. However, there were many disputes about the treatment of Internet addiction. From past cases, Yang Yongxin's rehabilitation center had used unscientific and inhuman methods to treat children, such as electric shocks. This not only did not really solve the problem of Internet addiction, but also caused serious physical and mental trauma to children. Moreover, there was currently no standardized definition of Internet addiction. Many children who were considered to have Internet addiction might just be normal play-lovers. The correct way to deal with them should be to use drugs and psychological guidance, rather than simply sending them to the so-called Internet addiction treatment center. At the same time, there were also organizations like the Shenkang Youth Mental Growth Center that claimed to specialize in solving psychological and behavior problems such as Internet addiction. However, on the whole, the problem of internet addiction among teenagers should be treated with caution. Parents should reflect on their own education methods and focus on the education of teenagers from an early age instead of relying solely on Internet addiction treatment centers.
