Should I use Virtual-addiction?

Thinking about suicide or in crisis? Call or text 988 · Child exploitation: 1-800-843-5678 - virtual-addiction.com

· 2 weeks ago

Evidence is thin — only the site's own pages describe it directly, with no independent user reviews found. A fair starting point if you're self-screening for internet or screen overuse; skip it for medical substance-use care, crisis help, or any software purchase.

Confidence

Low. Based on 90+ public sources; only 4 describe this site directly — the rest cover the virtual-rehab category.
