Text II
Have you ever heard the term “ NOMOPHOBIA”?
There are people who can't be without their cell phone for an instant. These people go into a state of deep anxiety and anguish when they find themselves without the device, when they run out of credits or with the battery running out. The need to be connected goes beyond all limits. (…) The name comes from the English in + mobile + phobia, in other words, “phobia of remaining without a mobile connection”, which includes internet and cell phone.(…)
For psychologist Sylvia Van Enck, from the Integrated Outpatient Clinic for Impulse Disorders, at USP, nomophobia is an impulse control disorder with a strong component of generalized anxiety. (…)
It is not easy to “unplug” the cell phone, since, in the technological society, the device is synonymous with status and social inclusion. "We can understand that the use of cell phones, even if not excessive, especially in relation to to the young population, is related to aspects of social inclusion and connectivity between the friends. On the other hand, with the advancement of technological resources, acquiring an increasingly sophisticated device confers economic status and social, which may be related to the search for reaffirmation of the psychological identity of adolescents at this stage of life", analyzes Sylvia. (…)“There is a risk in the development of personal insecurity that can also be a reflection of the insecurity of parents, who need to always have news of their children's whereabouts.(…)“Many nomophobic people, however, do not accept that they have this type of phobia and attribute their distress to various causes. They blame work or the need to communicate with family or friends in the event of an emergency. (…) comments psychologist Juliana Bizeto, from Unifesp's Orientation and Assistance Program for Dependents (Proad).”(…)
The most frequent targets for this type of disorder are adolescents and adults over 40 years of age. (…) Abuse works as the only escape valve for the person, who starts to live an impoverished life (…) The psychologist recalls that the diagnostic criteria are based on the presence of three traits: exclusivity, tolerance and abstinence. Exclusiveness, because technology is the only source of pleasure; tolerance, because the person spends more and more time with this technology; and abstinence, because the person has unpleasant symptoms when he is without the device, such as irritability, agitation and tachycardia.
According to psychologist Junior D'Amato from Universidade Federal Fluminense and a professor at Unilasalle, “the abusive use of mobile connections could be just the tip of the iceberg. They often camouflage other disturbances. The most frequent: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), social phobia, anxiety disorder, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). "The unpleasant sensations experienced by the nomophobic when he is without his cell phone, common in a panic attacks are often not alone, but accompanied by a depressive process covered up. These processes are not pure, there is an articulation between the disorders”, he explains.
