Social:Television addiction

From HandWiki
Short description: Proposed addiction model
A child watching in front of a TV illustrates the addiction of television on children.

Television addiction is a proposed addiction model which can be described as excessive binge watching of the television, which, despite serious issues that could develop over time, the addiction continues to persist.[1][2]

Analysis

The most recent medical review on this model concluded that pathological television watching behavior may constitute a true behavioral addiction, but indicated that much more research on this topic is needed to demonstrate this.[3] The compulsion can be extremely difficult to control in many cases. The television addiction model has parallels to other forms of behavioral addiction, such as addiction to drugs or gambling, which are also forms of compulsive behavior.

Recognition

Television addiction is not a diagnosable condition of DSM-IV.[4]
