Mediated Technology Dependent Disorder

With this increase in technology, particularly the internet and social media, researchers have begun to question its effects on mental health, particularly anxiety, depression, and loneliness.

The use of technology and the media increase the likelihood of learning disabilities and attention deficit disorders. Since children are exposed earlier on in life, it affects the brain activity affecting language development and concentration. At a young age, children are starting to develop their response stimulation. The interaction with family help them develop this response stimulate. When the children are looking at the screen, it does not engage the children to use their brain and concentrate. A neuroscientist, Susan Greenfield, believes that constant use of technology will lead to the lack of interpersonal interaction that will eventually impair people’s independence and ability to think on their own. This will result in a more childlike reaction, needing to depend on the behavior and thoughts of others (Abramovitz). Studies have shown that certain online activities, activates the brain rewards stimulants. It rewires the brain to expect and want the feel of dopamine release or constant action that engage the brain. When in school, students tend to have trouble concentrating and shorter attention span because of the lack of dopamine that is released. At the Center for Disease Control and Prevention the rate of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have increased by 5% since 1997. Being accustomed to feeling better all the time from the dopamine, the brain begins to crave

The author of this report is asked to complete a number of different requires, all relating to the proper and ethical diagnosis of psychological disorders. Two fictitious disorders are to be diagnosed. Within that process, the author is asked to define two different treatment options for the two diagnoses, define the specific techniques that would be used to help the client in question and provide the ethical obligations inherent to this diagnosis, how it should be done and why. The first diagnosis will be for post-traumatic stress disorder and the other will be for generalized anxiety disorder.

Over the past decade ADHD has become an increasingly large problem. Ten percent of kids have been diagnosed with it in recently, double what it used to be. ADHD is the inability to focus on one thing and sit still. (Rock) Rock tells how “fast-paced TV shows increased the risk of attention issues. And when the children adapt to those speeds, they struggle to pay attention in the slower pace of life because it’s less stimulating and rewarding.” This has a huge impact on kids in school as classes are nowhere as close as exciting as these video games. While an actual link between ADHD and technology use has not been confirmed, the evidence at least points to some correlation. This epidemic of sorts in lack of attention is having a huge negative impact in the development of the

For the emotional and behavioral symptoms the person with this disorder fears a situation in which they may be judged, worried about embarrassment, and avoiding situations involving interactions with people. The physical symptoms may include, blushing, fast heartbeat, trembling, sweating, dizziness, and not being able to speak in a proper manner. What can or may cause these symptoms is the environment or inheritance of this disorder, meaning this disorder can run in the family as part as an inheritance and be past down or in the environment situation it’s caused be anxious and fearful thoughts of judgement. (Adam, Richards). Although there are many symptoms that can follow with social anxiety there are also many treatments that can help improve a persons social

C. In relation to taking control, people usually sulk because things aren’t going their way yet all they need to do is figure out how they can make things better in their lives. For instance, a student that gets a failing grade should not bicker about why things turned out that way, but work towards fixing the grade for a better overall result.

Addiction of Perfection: Addiction to of Perfection: According to Dr.Samuels, who is the leading expert on addiction, the first thing that comes to our mind when we hear addiction is consuming drugs and alcohol. Indeed, people can be addicted to anything like food or the Internet or so on. In this decade, the addiction to cosmetic surgeries in order to have a perfect body becomes a danger for many people. On the other words, addiction to cosmetic or plastic surgeries is considered a psychological problem which is called Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). Patients are addicted to change their bodies or faces features by having plastic surgeries despite the negative results. Furthermore, the media affects the way that individuals see the beauty.

A second negative impact is the screen time individuals, especially children, are receiving. Whether it is television, computer, or iPhones, the more screen time a child has results in the less social interaction that child gets. Ultimately, this could lead to having a bigger impact on the child’s speech and language, and causing a further set back. While technology has a very positive impact on therapy and treatment, too much can cause the opposite reaction. Instead of using technology all the time, an individual can spend that time reading, playing with toys, playing social games, going outside, and socializing with friends and family. When a child is young, they learn social, cognitive, and motor skills through play. If they are completely

Frequently, Children encounter situations with their exceptionality which makes it extremely difficult to thrive in social settings. It is therefore of great importance for one to receive the best possible means of assistance. Previous research has suggested that technology attacks anxiety. Social media is an outlet to help these people establish social interaction and build relationships “The lack of audiovisual cues, coupled with the ability to create fictional identities or remain anonymous in online forums, led many experts to conclude that the Internet was particularly suitable for those seeking to overcome the inhibitions typically experienced in real-life social interactions” (Kiesler, Siegel, & McGuire, 1984; Myers, 1987).
