MOBILE PHONE TEXTING  DISORDERS

TEXTING2

With the advent of mobile phones and the huge market that now relies on this technology, researchers in Australia have identified four distinct disorders - textaphrenia, textiety, post-traumatic text disorder and binge texting.

Textaphrenia is thinking you've heard a message come in or felt the device vibrate when it actually hasn't.

Textiety is the anxious feeling of not receiving any texts or not being able to send any.

Post-traumatic text disorder involves physical and mental injuries related to texting. "There are physical issues arising like walking into things while texting and even crossing a road without realising."

Binge texting is when teens send multiple texts to feel good about themselves and try to attract responses
