The modern misfortune, computer addiction is a real disease, just like drug addiction. A person cannot think of anything but a computer, completely falling out of reality. This problem was thoroughly studied in Novosibirsk, as a result of which a unique method of treating such diseases was developed.

In Novosibirsk, scientists have found a way to treat computer addiction. The unique technique is used not only in Russian clinics.

Student Alexander entered the Kiev clinic of neuroses with a diagnosis of "acute computer addiction." His parents turned to doctors when he tried to commit suicide by failing to pass one of the levels of the so-called strategy game. Now, according to doctors, the crisis has passed, but Alexander will not get rid of his computer addiction completely soon.

The young patient admitted that he plays computer games all the time, from morning until late at night, often forgetting about food and skipping university, sitting at the computer for days on end.

A unique technique for treating such patients in Ukraine has been developed in Russia. Novosibirsk scientists were the first in the world to talk about a new disease - a computer virus. The method of treatment is the impact on the affected areas of the brain, distracting it from the computer and allowing you to transfer from virtual existence to real life. The person seems to be taking a break from the constant obsessive thoughts about the computer.

Patients suffering from a computer virus are very difficult to treat. They completely drop out of normal life, replacing it with a virtual game. Internet addicts, as these patients are called, are akin to drug addicts: withdrawal, addiction and complete personality degradation.

Here is what Oleg Chaban, head of the Department of Psychology of the National Medical University, says about this: “Information, pastime, also includes a very complex neuroendocrine mechanism, the same stereotypes are triggered, and when you take things from him, he has the same withdrawal symptoms, the same breaking."

Children, instead of studying, prefer to sit in Internet clubs. And many owners of these establishments are ready to sacrifice the health of the younger generation in the pursuit of profit. According to the law, children under the age of sixteen are prohibited from being in such institutions during school hours. However, to all appearances, no one is going to comply with this law.

In Kiev, the problem is so serious that teachers turned to the city's social services for help. Raids began to be carried out on Internet clubs, where schoolchildren were caught and taken to educational institutions.
