Abstract: The world is connected by the internet. It is very useful because we use Google to find out
any new topic, to search for new places, to quest updated research, and to get knowledge for learning.
People around the world can communicate with each other through the Google video conference
talk. Internet is frequently used in smartphones, laptops, desktops, and tablets. Excessive affinity towards
internet-based online data collection, downloading pictures, videos, cyber relationships, and
social media may produce addiction disorders followed by different symptoms such as behavior
change, mind disturbance, depression, anxiety, loss of appetite hyperactivity, sleeping disorder,
headache, visual fatigue, trafficking of memory, attention-deficit, loss of efficiency in work and social
detachment which may be caused by an imbalance of neurotransmitters. This is very difficult to
control because of abnormal signal transduction in the brain. The present study is an attempt to discuss
internet addiction disorder (IAD), internet gaming disorder (IGD), and give awareness to society
to get rid of this addiction.
