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.
