Internet addiction manifests as excessive and uncontrolled use of the web that interferes with daily life, interpersonal relationships, and work or academic responsibilities. It can take many forms: social media dependency, compulsive online gaming, compulsive browsing, or addiction to specific types of online content.

Dr. Robert Bergonzi’s practice in Milan offers psychotherapy for the treatment of Internet addiction. Our approach aims to understand the psychological needs that excessive Internet use fulfils and to develop healthier, more constructive alternatives for meeting those needs.

The pathway begins with an assessment of online habits, followed by individual sessions and practical strategies for restoring a balanced relationship with digital technology. For adolescents, the process also involves the family.

If Internet use is compromising your quality of life, contact our Milan practice for professional support.
