Are you bitten by the FAD yet? Or are you living in self-denial that you are suffering from FAD?

Approximately 350million people are suffering from Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD). It is a term introduced by US psychologists describing people who are diagnosed with addiction to Facebook and their life activities are dominated by non-controllable “distractions” from Facebook. Howard-Payne, a psychology lecturer at the University of the Witwatersrand, said “Addictive use of the Internet is a new phenomenon which many practitioners are unaware of and, subsequently, unprepared to treat. Use of Facebook is often a legitimate way of social networking, so abstinence may not be seen as a practical intervention thus it is recommended that there be moderation and controlled use.”
