Facebook Addiction. Is it really an addiction?

Tweet

Psychologists have introduced a term to describe an addiction to Facebook. FAD, or Facebook Addiction Disorder, is defined by spending so many hours on Facebook that the healthy balance of the individual's life is affected. Why does everything have to be a disorder? If you laugh at the wrong time you need treatment, and if you sleep-in too many days of the week you need treatment. Where does it stop? When do people start taking responsibility for their actions and stop blaming people's behaviors on disorders? Technically by definition, many people do have an addiction to social media.
