PMID 36176490

WHAT IT FOUND

This paper has been retracted.

It mixes theoretical discussion with unverified case anecdotes and lacks a clear, rigorous study design. Do not use its conclusions to guide treatment for internet addiction.

What this paper is

This is a retracted publication. The text provided is a disjointed compilation of literature reviews, theoretical discussions on psychosocial models, and anecdotal case descriptions, lacking a coherent, rigorous empirical methodology or validated results. There is no reliable evidence here to inform clinical practice.

What it does not show

The publication is retracted. The text lacks a consistent empirical structure, mixing unrelated sections on consumption data, depression scales, and social work case notes. No control groups or rigorous outcome measures are described for the interventions mentioned.

The easy way to misread this

Do not attempt to implement the 'self-help drawing therapy' or specific social work strategies described, as the paper is retracted and the evidence base is fundamentally flawed.
