Internet addiction has been branded a clinical disorder by psychologists 
in China.  They're calling it Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD).

> China’s solution to all this? Well, any citizen of the Middle Kingdom who feels he might just break into a sweat if he can’t get online can check in to Internet rehab boot camp for counselling, prescription drugs, hypnosis, rigorous discipline and electric shock therapy.

'Nuff said.
