How to understand that you have an Internet addiction
Internet addiction can be recognized by the absence of other interests and aspirations in a person.
You can tell you have a problem if your screen time exceeds 5 hours daily.

For example, it is not related to work or training.
Internet addiction can lead to a refusal of personal communication, destruction of relationships with others, and separation from reality.
