What is Facebook Addiction Disorder

Facebook addiction disorder (FAD) 
Is there such thing as Facebook addiction disorder? This form of addiction strikes me as one of the social media network's negative aspects. People would love to publicize important events happening in their lives and well, even the petty ones through their social media profiles. The launching of Facebook has become a major event in the social media industry as it grows millions of users in just a matter of time. Psychologists believe that Facebook addiction disorder can become prevalent among people who could not seem to dissociate their lives from their Facebook account. 

Facebook addiction disorder is obvious when there is unhealthy use of Facebook in terms of spending more time with Facebook to the extent that a person's life becomes affected and important responsibilities are neglected. Criteria used for diagnosing Facebook addiction disorder include the identification of the presence of tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, reduction of normal social or recreational activities as among others.
