Abstract

Technological advancements in the last two decades have brought about major changes in our lifestyle. Along with several positive changes, we have also faced several negative consequences. Addiction to Internet, online gaming and social media through either computers or smartphones are examples of the adverse consequences of technology. Opinions of mental health professionals are being sought on many such cases of addiction to Internet and various social media, which have been classified under the broad rubric of “Behavioral Addiction”. In our current issue, we have a review article on the neurobiological basis of such addictions.We intend to bring forth reviews on other aspects of this topic in future issues. Happy Reading!
