Introduction Use of the Internet lately has significantly been
increased worldwide. The time users spend browsing the Internet
is constantly increased resulting to serious consequences incurred
in personal, professional and social life.
Aim The purpose was to explore whether the economic crisis is
affecting the use and addiction to Internet, whether the economic
crisis is a risk factor in the appearance of addiction to the Internet
and if the occupation and the existence of extra-curricular activities
act as barriers to the development of addiction to the Internet on
students.
Methods A questionnaire was prepared based on the diagnostic
tool IAT (Internet Addiction Test). The surveywas conducted in June
of 2014 on 632 students.
Result It was found that 6.2% of the sample population has
moderately addictive behavior and 0.5% has a serious addiction.
Addiction levels to the Internet are affected by someone working
while studying and his monthly income, by daily time spent by the
student in activities besides school, by the time spent daily on the
Internet and by the operations mostly used. Also found that the risk
of developing Internet addiction is higher among students who said
they had difficulty paying their bills and Internet subscription and
to those who due to economic crisis would stop all their activities
in order to obtain money.
Conclusions The economic crisis is a factor that affects on Internet
addiction and occupation and activities may act as a deterrent to
the emergence of the phenomenon.

Purpose To identify the personal and social everyday life con-
sequences of patients with substance use disorder (SUD) with
co-occurring attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or
autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Design and methods A qualitative phenomenological study using
in-depth interviews guided by a set of topics regarding the conse-
quences of illness for everyday life.
Findings The personal and social everyday life consequences of
patients with SUD with co-occurring ADHD or ASD were narrowed
down to three themes; Jumble of Emotions and Thoughts, Sub-
stance Use and Structure. It can be concluded that the underlying
mechanisms may be different for each group (impulsivity vs. pas-
sivity), but both groups describe the consequences of their illness
for everyday life as being caught up in a vicious circle.
Practice implications This study provides insight in the meaning
of SUD in the lives of patients with ADHD and ASD. It not only shows
that SUD has meaning, but also shows how it functions and why it
functions. The study also provides insight in what clinicians could
do to break this vicious circle across lifespan.

Introduction In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association
included Internet Gaming Disorder in the appendix of the 5th edi-
tion of the DSM-5, suggesting more research is necessary for the
condition to be officially accepted as mental disorder. Criticisms
have emerged as to the viability, validity and reliability of the
proposed condition, and researchers have pointed out that the sub-
suming of Internet addiction under the umbrella term of Internet
Gaming Disorder (as is the case in the DSM-5) is highly problematic.
Objectives and aims The objective of this talk is to provide
a comprehensive and inclusive analysis of clinical research of
Internet-use related addictions from a holistic perspective, given
the ambiguity of previous research in the field.
Methods A systematic literature reviewwas conducted using the
database Web of Science, and a total of 44 empirical and clinically
relevant studies were identified.
Results Results indicated that the published clinical research
studies can be categorized into four areas, including (i) treatment
seeker characteristics, (ii) psychopharmacotherapy, (iii), psycho-
logical therapy, and (iv) combined treatment, each of which will be
discussed.
Conclusions At the present day, both diagnosis and research of
Internet-use disorders appears rather broad. Furthermore, there
appears a need for developing a gold standard of clinical assess-
ment. This will support the establishment of efficacious and
effective treatments which need to be tailored to the individual
help seekers’ needs.
