- I think internet addiction should be added to the new manuel DSM5. I think a pshychatrist could give a person a list of problems that could lead up to internet addiciton. Internet addiction could be classified as a mental illness because it can be something that makes peoples lifes worse and different. Internet addiction can be worse than drug addiction or any other addiction thats classified as a mental illness. I myself find myself on the internet a little bit too much. I wouldn't say I am addicted to the internet but I would say i'm on it a bit to much. I do know some people that I would say are addicted to the Internet. I personally think people could get diganosed with Internet addiction.
 * Should Internet addcition be added to the new manuel DSM5, should it be classified as a mental illness?**


 * Homework:**
 * December 06,2010, Choose any two anxiety disorders and write a paragraph about each one. In your paragraphs create a brief profile of an imaginary person who has the disorder. Describe the symptoms, but do not use key terms for the disorder itself.**


 * Social Phobia:** Anxiety due to a feeling of being under scruinty by others. Also stage fright in common situations where you actually are under the scrutiny by others. For example, giving an oral report at a meeting or performing music before an audience.


 * Example:** There was a girl who was still a bit young. While in 6th grade, she still had not too many friends. Although shes been going to the same school for many years she has yet to made friends. Not because she didn't want too but because she didn't know how to. She was a quiet girl, many would think because she was so smart. Not that she wasnt smart but she didnt have much communication, not because she didn't want to but because she didn't know how to, she was afraid. Failing many classes because she couldn't stand up to do oral projects or even talk to her teachers about things she needed help


 * Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder:** Emotianal distress or numbing due to a life-threatning experience( rape,explosions,war,earthquake,plane,crash,cave-in, fire)


 * Example:** She was always walking, or always taking public transportaition. If someone a friend, or a family member offered her a ride, she would refuse it. But why? Nobody new. When she was younger she just so happened to get into a car accident, being in the car with both her mother and her father. She lost them both due to that crash. She was only 7. Sence that exact day she would not step foot into a vehichle. Loosing her parents in a car crash really shapped her world into a brand new place. But would this stress follow her forever? How would she ever learn to get over her fears. Many people became worried yet she was to afraid. Even seeing cars urked her skin. She was scard, for life.

Personally, I think the anxiety disorder I have is the Obssesive-compulsive disorder. I'm always having urges that something bad will happen,always being cosious. Also being in senior year I think Im just going through the Generalized anxiety disorder. Having exessive worry about not getting accepteted to college and not being able to determine what I want to do for the rest of my life. Altough Im still young I have to make many decisons that will determine my future. These worries cause tensions and headaches. A lot of pressure being put on me causes a lot of worries.
