Study: Facebook causes 'psychotic episodes and delusions'

The studies found a direct link between psychotic episodes and their internet or Facebook communications.

All three of Dr Nitzan's patients sought refuge from a lonely situation and found solace in intense virtual relationships.Although these relationships were positive at first, they eventually led to feelings of hurt, betrayal, and invasion of privacy.Dr Nitzan said:

'The patients shared some crucial characteristics, including loneliness or vulnerability due to the loss of or separation from a loved one, relative inexperience with technology, and no prior history of psychosis or substance abuse.'In each case, a connection was found between the gradual development and exacerbation of psychotic symptoms, including delusions, anxiety, confusion, and intensified use of computer communications.

There is good news
'The good news is that all of the patients, who willingly sought out treatment on their own, were able to make a full recovery with proper treatment and care.
