According to a 2016 NIH study, DSM-5 Criteria for substance abuse problems can be used effectively to diagnose cell phone addiction. Therefore, mobile addiction can be defined as mental dependence on mobile devices in which users show symptoms such as drug addiction. Typically, these symptoms appear and develop over the course of months and years, but may be manifested by short ‘indulgence’ (e.g. if you try a new mobile game).
Potential indications of cell addiction:
- Careful use of phones in hazardous or prohibited situations.
- Excessive use of the phone causes social and family conflicts and conflicts, as well as loss of interest in other shared activities
- Continuing to behave in spite of the side effects and / or personal illness it causes
- Excessive phone use causes physical, mental, social, work, or family disruption (e.g. eye strain, withdrawal symptoms, stress, and anxiety)
- Endless fascination to test your device
- Regular and continuous phone monitoring can lead to insomnia and sleep disturbances
- Increased use to achieve satisfaction or relaxation or to combat the dysphoric condition
- Excessive use, urgency, needs to be connected
- You need to respond immediately to messages, choosing a cell phone rather than contacting him or her
- Self-control, dependence, longing
- Anxiety, irritability when a cell phone is not available, feelings of discomfort when you cannot use it
