A new survey suggests that people who use the Internet too much may have mental health problems. The survey said that people who are addicted to the Internet have problems in life if they cannot get online regularly. The survey is from McMaster University in Canada. Researchers looked at the Internet habits of 254 students and then looked at the students' general mental health. Thirty-three of the students were addicted to the Internet. The researchers said another 107 students had problems because of their Internet use. These included depression, anxiety, impulsiveness and inattention. A professor said we still know little about the dangers of Internet addiction and need to do more research into it.

一项新的调查显示，过多使用互联网的人或许有精神健康方面的问题。该调查称，沉迷互联网的人如果不能经常上网的话生活就会出现问题。这项调查由加拿大麦克马斯特大学进行。研究人员调查了254名学生的上网习惯，然后检查了他们的总体精神健康状况。其中33名学生对互联网上瘾。研究人员表示，另外107名学生也因为使用互联网而存在一些问题，包括抑郁，焦虑，易冲动和注意力不集中。一位教授表示，我们沉迷互联网的危险仍然了解很少，需要进行更多研究。

The lead researcher in the study, professor Michael Van Ameringen, explained what kind of problems he found with students. He said: "We found that [students addicted to the Internet] had significantly more trouble dealing with their day-to-day activities, including life at home, at work or school and in social settings." Professor Van Ameringen added: "[People] with Internet addiction also had significantly higher amounts of depression and anxiety symptoms, problems with planning and [problems with] time management." The professor said we needed to find out just how big the problem of Internet addiction is. He also said we needed to find out if mental health problems caused Internet addiction.

这项调查的首席研究人员Michael Van Ameringen解释了他发现的学生们存在的问题。他说：“我们发现，对互联网上瘾的人在处理日常活动方面存在更多障碍，包括在家中，工作场合，学校或社交场合。”Van Ameringen教授补充说：“有网瘾的人有更多抑郁和焦虑的症状，制定计划和管理时间也存在问题。”教授说，我们需要查明网瘾的问题到底有多大。他还说，我们需要查明是不是精神健康问题导致对网络上瘾。
