Jerald Block MD says excessive online gaming, porn surfing along with e-mail and text messaging are signs of mental collapse and "merit inclusion" in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM V).
Dr. Jerald Block's editorial on Internet addiction in the American Journal of Psychiatry is available online.
