Internet Addiction or "Codependency Conspiracy" ?

Beware:

You, the internet user, are the newest target to be designated as having mental health problems.

Not yet a recognized disorder, Dr. Nathan Shapira, a psychiatrist at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, has already given you a name. He told the Associated Press that he suggests either "Internetomania" or "Netomania." He also assumes you have other mental problems such as manic-depression, social-phobias, and bulimia. BEWARE.

For further reading on the subject Mr. Raulli recommends:
