Internet addiction wants to become a gold medal for avoiding death
Recently, when the controversy caused by Clinical Diagnostic Criteria for Internet Addiction has not disappeared, some people have regarded it as a piece? Death-free gold medal . Hu Ange, a young man from Sichuan, was poisoned by his parents because he was addicted to the Internet. He was sentenced to death by the court of first instance for intentional homicide. After learning about the Standard, Hu Ange's relatives said? He is addicted to the internet all day long, which has a lot to do with his surfing the internet? And formally sent an application to the provincial high court, requesting to identify whether he suffered from mental illness and criminal responsibility when he was addicted to online poisoning his parents.
Tao Ran, director of the Department of Medical Addiction in the General Hospital of Beijing Military Region, thinks that the release of standards does not mean that Internet addicts are exempted from legal responsibility. ? The law only stipulates that people with schizophrenia do not have to bear legal responsibility for committing crimes, while other mental patients have to bear corresponding responsibilities for their actions. Therefore, the inclusion of Internet addiction in mental illness does not mean exemption from crime. ? A month ago, the Clinical Diagnostic Criteria for Internet Addiction, which was organized by the Ministry of Health of the General Logistics Department and led by the General Hospital of Beijing Military Region, was proved by experts that Internet addiction was included in the diagnosis of mental illness. According to the Standard, Internet addiction is defined as a mental and behavioral disorder caused by individuals' repeated and excessive use of the Internet, which shows a strong desire to use the Internet again. There are seven criteria for defining symptoms, one of which is to use the internet continuously for 6 hours or more every day on average, and this symptom has reached or exceeded 3 months, and there is a strong desire or impulse for the use of the internet; When you reduce or stop surfing the internet, you will feel unwell, irritable, irritable, inattentive, sleep disorder and so on.
As soon as the Standard was published, it immediately attracted widespread resentment from netizens. Some netizens ridiculed this "standard" as? The ninth wonder of the world? . 21CN community users? Wind? Irony:? According to that definition, I have Internet addiction, my wife has Internet addiction, and my son in junior high school also has Internet addiction. Now our whole family has become mental patients. ?
Psychologists, netizens? Black tea and purple smoke? In an interview with this reporter, he said that the majority of Internet addiction patients are teenagers, and the hospitals that take saving lives as their duty not only failed to help them in a positive way, but carried out the cold "standard" and posted it casually? Mental illness? The label is undoubtedly inserted on their fragile hearts? Shame? A knife.
In the face of many controversies, Mao Qunan, spokesman of the Ministry of Health, said: The diagnostic criteria of Internet addiction were issued by the research group of Beijing Military Region General Hospital, and did not go through the Ministry of Health. ? And repeatedly stressed that this is not a national mandatory standard.
Correcting the name of the current treatment method
According to Tao Hongkai, an expert in the treatment of Internet addiction, there are nearly 3 schools and institutions for the treatment of Internet addiction in China. Although the Standard is not recognized by the society, netizens also hate the saying that Internet addiction is equivalent to mental illness. However, the reporter found that most schools and institutions that treat Internet addiction adopt the methods of drug intervention and psychological counseling, and they are managed militarily, and iron doors and locks isolate Internet addiction patients from the outside world, which is similar to the method of treating mental illness, even the drugs used are the same. Tao Ran, the main maker of the Standards and director of the Addiction Treatment Center of the General Hospital of Beijing Military Region, believes that Internet addiction is not only a mental illness, but also a mental symptom of endocrine disorder. Therefore, in order to eradicate Internet addiction, children's wrong psychological development must be corrected to the right path through psychotherapy based on drug therapy.
According to practitioners, western medicine is the main drug therapy, supplemented by traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is used to calm the nerves, while western medicine mainly regulates brain secretion, including antidepressants and anxiolytics, and sometimes sedatives are used. Another drug treatment regards Internet addiction as * *. Yang Guodong, a detoxification expert in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, tried to quit Internet addiction by abstaining from * *. The drugs used were mainly injection of scopolamine, which inhibited the cerebral cortex and made patients return to normal during sleep and rest. ? Black tea and purple smoke? It is said that psychiatry is a disease in which brain functional activities are disordered under the influence of various physiological, psychological and social environmental factors, resulting in different degrees of mental activities such as cognition, emotion, will and behavior. There is a clear difference between Internet addiction and it. Even if people with Internet addiction reach all the indicators of the so-called "standard", there is no clinical experimental evidence that the nerve tissue in the body has changed. It is irresponsible to treat internet addiction by treating mental illness without long-term clinical scientific experiments. ? Internet addiction is just a bad habit caused by psychological problems, first of all, prevention, followed by psychological counseling. ? Tao Hongkai said that injecting and taking medicine to treat mental illness can't completely treat Internet addiction, but the side effects of some drugs will harm developing children.
Some netizens believe that the launch of the Standards undoubtedly justifies the now-questioned treatment of Internet addiction. If this "standard" can be promoted nationwide, then major Internet addiction treatment schools, institutions and hospitals can justifiably use psychotropic drugs to treat Internet addiction.
The game of interests behind Standards
Netizens? Seven hornbills? Unscrupulously, it is pointed out that some experts in the medical field who have been influenced by the wind of medical market reform for more than ten years are absolutely as precise as the CEO of small and medium-sized enterprises in the mainland in the abacus. Behind the introduction of this Internet addiction standard, there is a dark battle for interests between the regular army who missed the market opportunity and the guerrillas who once seized the mountain in advance.
In order to bring children back to reality from virtual space-time, many parents are willing to spend a lot of money. The urgent psychology of parents and the rapid innovation of virtual technology of network reality make Internet addiction treatment become an industry with huge scale, unlimited prospects and great profits. China Habitual Education Base and Jiangxi Shangrao New Hope Youth Education School adopt the methods of psychological counseling, cultural teaching and skills training, and charge 22,6 yuan for half a year and 4,6 yuan for one year; Hunan Shuren Youth Development Training School adopts the method of psychological counseling and quality development, and charges more than 1, yuan for half a year, including accommodation and training clothes. ? There is no doubt that this cake is very huge and attractive. ?
If hospitals want to get involved in this industry, there is a prerequisite, that is, they must treat Internet addiction? Definition? Become a disease. Tao ran said:? Only hospitals, preferably hospitals with psychiatric background, can treat patients with internet addiction? And said,? Many existing schools for treating internet addiction can't continue to operate. ? This is not difficult to understand. After the promulgation of the Standards, hospitals in Xinjiang, Shandong and other places have set up Internet addiction rehabilitation centers.
When the war of words triggered by the Internet addiction standard is in full swing and the anti-internet addiction fighters are still arguing about who is in charge, the great shanzhai warriors once again show their unparalleled response speed: the portable Internet addiction therapeutic instrument has come out and entered the stage of market sales. Online salespeople even claimed that if the "standards for the diagnosis and treatment of Internet addiction" were approved, it would be no problem for their products to get the batch number of medical devices. ? Seven hornbills? The commentary said that the vast majority of ordinary people have neither professional background nor practical experience, and it is impossible to identify such a mysterious topic. However, only the parents of all sentient beings really represent them? Internet addiction? The interests of children. There are two factions in society? Expert? Carrying it? Science? The banner is casually fooled and tossed. In the long run, parents and children will inevitably fall into an unfortunate situation of being at a loss.
