Internet-addicted Teens to Be Treated at London Hospital

A spokesperson from a private London hospital has announced a new service for teenagers that have a very dangerous addiction to IT products such as mobile phones and computers and also to IT connectivity as they surf the Internet all the time. The hospital can help them get away from the IT services and IT products that surround them every day. This announcement was made by the hospital on Thursday.

Richard Graham, lead consultant at Capio Nightingale Hospital, said that "I've been contacted by parents who see their children going into a rage when they're told to turn off their computer. Some end up having to call the police. Mental health services need to adapt quickly to the changing worlds that young people inhabit, and understand just how seriously their lives can be impaired by unregulated time online, on-screen or in-game." Children from the age of 12 can be treated here to the ones that are 17 years old.
