>> addiction global problem. According to academic research, Internet  
>> addiction disorder (IAD) results in personal, family, and  
>> occupational problems. Internet addiction can be decomposed into  
>> several subtypes of behavior and impulse control problems, namely,  
>> Debauchery, cyber-relationship addiction, net compulsions,  
>> information overload, compulsive web surfing or database searches  
>> and net gaming. Internet gaming has been classified by the World  
>> Health Organization (WHO) as a disease in the International  
>> Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). There is a large correlation  
>> between addiction to online social networks and generalized  
>> Internet addiction. The short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops  
>> that Facebook has created are destroying how society works and it  
>> is eroding the core foundations of how people behave by and between  
>> each other. Smartphones and the social media platforms they support  
>> are turning us into bona fide addicts. Platforms like Facebook,  
>> Snapchat, and Instagram leverage the very same neural circuitry  
>> used by slot machines and cocaine to keep us using their products  
>> as much as possible. Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) ruins lives  
>> by causing neurological complications, psychological disturbances,  
>> and social problems. Smartphone or Internet addiction can also  
>> negatively impact your life by increasing loneliness and  
>> depression, fueling anxiety, increasing stress, exacerbating  
>> attention deficit disorders, diminishing your ability to  
>> concentrate and think deeply or creatively, disturbing your sleep  
>> and encouraging self-absorption. The psychopathological overlap  
>> between IA, substance addiction and pathological gambling suggests  
>> a common neurobiological substrate, involving a dopamine  
>> dysfunction of the neural “reward systems”. Debauchery destroys the  
>> brain. Lust and promiscuity, explains Nachman of Breslev, lead to a  
>> breakdown of logic, common sense and even insanity. The proof is  
>> that in this decadent age, so many people are in need of  
>> psychiatric medication, whereas millions suffer from anxiety and  
>> depression. All the people who are out of their minds, because they  
>> fell into the difficult disease of looking at women and all kinds  
>> of filthy movies on the Internet, on the iPhone, Facebook, etc., to  
>> the point of burning lust in real madness. Gambling is a terrible  
>> sickness, even more addictive than alcohol, tobacco and drugs. The  
>> lust for money is the root cause of gambling affliction, which not  
>> only drives a person insane, but makes him or her lose faith in the  
>> Creator, and truth and emuna in His Divine providence, Heaven  
>> forbid. The gambler is cruel to his family. The owners and  
>> operators of gambling parlors are outright murderers.
