What is mobile phone syndrome

A "disease" prevalent in cities. At present, we can't confirm what kind of disease it is, but it is really more and more like a disease. This disease has something to do with cell phones, specifically, short messages.

"I suspect I'm sick!" My friend Xiao Zhang whispered. According to the "patient"' s self-report, he found himself obsessed with short messages on mobile phones. Recently, due to the lack of short messages, he felt very restless and even suffered from insomnia.

The author then carefully observed the people around him and made an extensive investigation and interview. The result is surprising. This disease is not only widespread, but also highly contagious. The reason why we don't pay much attention to it at ordinary times is simply because we are used to it.

Because the medical profession has not paid enough attention to this disease and has not officially named it, let's call it "SMS syndrome".

[ Edit this paragraph] Typical symptoms

Symptom 1: If you don't hear the cell phone ringing for a period of time, you will be agitated and depressed, accompanied by intermittent gibberish: "Nobody cares about me …" and "I am an outcast from the world …". The patient's expression is sad and his eyes are blurred. This kind of gibberish may also be carried out in the heart, so we should also pay attention to observe its demeanor and movements. He will inadvertently stare at his mobile phone when doing other things. If the bell rings a note or the mobile phone has a vibration trend, he will grab the mobile phone and check the "small envelope" with lightning speed. His look is extremely excited, his eyebrows are towering, his mouth is slightly open, his eyes are shining, and even severe cases are accompanied by unconscious movements of other parts of his body.

symptom 2: auditory hallucination. It often has the effect of "listening to thunder in a silent place". If the mobile phone has not moved for a long time, it will easily produce auditory hallucinations. When the mobile phone is turned on, no new information is found, and it is still confused and called "strange". When you hear music similar to your mobile phone ringtone in the street, you will always subconsciously touch your mobile phone in your pocket. If you are seriously ill, you will definitely take out your mobile phone to see what it is, although you know that it is not from your pocket. Maybe this is the legendary "obsessive-compulsive disorder"?

symptom 3: I feel restless when I leave my mobile phone. It seems that something is missing in my heart, and I feel uncomfortable empty, and I feel inexplicable anxiety, so that I can't devote myself to the things around me. At this time, the mobile phone seems to stretch out a hand to tickle your heart, and you can't wait to immediately turn that exquisite and lovely little thing with charming breath into your hand and hold it in your hand to study it carefully. If this happens within a few minutes of going out, I will definitely rush back to get it, and I will be absolutely conscientious and tireless.

susceptible population

Young people with mobile phones are mostly aged from 18 to 3, and most of them are unmarried.

diagnostic approach

a preliminary diagnosis can be made from the monthly telephone bill, and then the diagnosis can be made by combining the above symptoms.

Mild patients: the monthly SMS fee exceeds that of 5 yuan;

moderate patients: the monthly SMS fee exceeds that of 1 yuan;

Severe patients: The monthly SMS fee exceeds that of 15 yuan. < P > Treatment < P > Those with mild illness can be cured with a little restraint; If the patient is seriously ill, he should stop sending short messages for one month, and solve everything by phone to get rid of excessive dependence on short messages. If you still can't control yourself, you can only suggest that the telecom company raise its SMS fee to .5 yuan.
