TV Addiction

Television addiction is an advanced addiction stage associated with compulsive behaviour associated with watching television. According to the most recent review on TV addiction stated that continuously television watching behavior may be a true behavioural, but the compulsion can be extremely difficult to control in many cases. TV addiction is not a formally recognized condition. That means there are no particular set of symptoms. Some researchers use substance dependence criteria to measure TV dependence and addiction with statements. Watching TV boosts dopamine production in your brain. The result of which makes you want to continue watching TV.  The symptoms may include when you don’t watch TV for a day or two, you sense some irritability or crankiness, restlessness, anxiety, intense desire to watch TV, etc. These may improve once you start watching TV again. If you watch a lot of TV, you might spend a lot of time sitting and less time being physically active which can affect your health over time. TV addiction causes sleep problems.
