1.1 Is Internet Addiction a Clinical Disorder?

DSM-5 has recommended that Internet use disorders be considered for possible inclusion in future revisions of DSM-5. This video looks at the issue of excessive Internet use and the effect of excessive computer use in countries around the world. The video first spotlights the United States, where college students describe how much time they spend on social networking websites and how their Internet use often distracts their attention from their studies. The video then shows a controversial "boot camp" in China where children and young adults are sent to be treated for excessive Internet use.
