Features: This is the first book in China to decode internet addiction from a medical perspective. Internet addiction has become a clinical illness. A healthy child is a saved family. The book "What Should Parents Do When Their Children Are Addicted to the Internet?" tells readers: Internet addiction or gaming addiction not only manifests in excessive online time but also disrupts neural pathways and endocrine functions, developing into a clinical illness. This disease causes dependency factors in the central nervous system, and some patients may exhibit various mental symptoms (such as depression, anxiety, irritability, mental instability) and physical symptoms (such as trembling limbs, dizziness, nausea, unstable heart rate, convulsions, shock). This book is based on the treatment experiences of a large number of internet-addicted patients summarized by clinical addiction medicine experts, offering specific clinical classifications and treatment measures for such diseases. The detailed case studies in this book remind readers that adolescents with internet addiction may experience interrupted studies, top students may decline, stay away from home for days or nights, develop hostile attitudes toward family or friends, or even engage in violent incidents, and so on. This book provides valuable insights for families, schools, and relevant personnel on how to recognize and prevent this new disease.
