Modern methods of communication and engagement, such as social media, video games, and online shopping, use a variety of behavioral techniques to encourage and reward frequent use, opening the door to addiction. The technological addictions (TAs) are a set of disorders that accompany the technological advances that define the digital age. The TAs are an active source of research in the literature, with promising treatment options already available.
There are promising therapeutic and psychopharmacologic treatments for a broad range of TAs. Stimulants, antidepressants, and cognitive therapies may all be effective for internet gaming disorder (IGD). Cognitive therapies may be effective for other TAs, such as social media addiction (SMA), online shopping addiction (OSA), and online porn addiction. Society's dependence on addictive technologies will only increase. Many of the TAs can be addressed with medication and therapy, with more research and literature developing at a rapid pace.
现代的沟通和参与方式，如社交媒体、视频游戏和网上购物，使用各种行为技术来鼓励和奖励频繁使用，从而为成瘾打开了大门。技术成瘾（TAs）是一组与定义数字时代的技术进步相伴而生的障碍。TAs 是文献中一个活跃的研究来源，已经有了有前途的治疗选择。
有广泛的 TAs 治疗和精神药理学治疗有希望。兴奋剂、抗抑郁药和认知疗法可能对网络游戏障碍（IGD）都有效。认知疗法可能对其他 TAs 有效，如社交媒体成瘾（SMA）、网上购物成瘾（OSA）和网上色情成瘾。社会对成瘾技术的依赖只会增加。许多 TAs 可以通过药物和治疗来解决，更多的研究和文献正在快速发展。
