Cryptocurrency obsession can be treated
Specialists around the world point out that fortunately there is treatment for addiction to digital currency and processes involved
The boom of digital transactions in cryptocurrencies and mining activity has generated a new pathology that psychologists qualify as an addiction. It affects dozens of people in the world, to the point that specialists from universities and hospitals analyze effective treatments.
One example is the Castle Craig Hospital in Scotland, where a study has been conducted on users of digital currency, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, and who find it difficult to disconnect from compulsive price monitoring, market fluctuations, buying and selling cryptocurrencies.
The “fear” of missing a novelty on the crypto scenario leads users to literally stick to their computers and smartphones, observing transactions and receiving or commenting on them.
According to specialists of the aforementioned hospital, addiction to cryptocurrencies is comparable to gambling obsession. It is an addiction that, like most, is marked by fear, in this case to lose any “important” data if they disconnect from the Internet.
The treatment for crypto addicts at Castle Craig Hospital in Scotland is similar to the one applied for addicts of online games. It is based on group therapies to express and share experiences, in addition to offering mutual support. The acceptance of addiction and the recognition of this as a cause of personal and family problems is, without doubt, the first step to healing.
