Textaphrenia

                           I read about textaphrenia in a newspaper article today morning.Thought I would just put in a blog-post on what it is.Textaphrenia is thinking a message had arrived when it hadn't, while textiety is the anxious feeling of not receiving or sending text messages.
                          Textaphrenia is a disorder created in heavy texting addicts.For all those people who have are addicted to SMSing please take into consideration the fact that just like mobile radiation heavy texting can also lead to problems related to mental health. A recent study in Melbourne came up with some alarming conclusions. The study into youth communication habits identified the risks teens face from texting excessively every day, and the symptoms included anxiety, insecurity, depression, low self-esteem and "repetitive thumb syndrome". 
                        For all the advantages MOBILES have brought with it there has been increasingly heavier number of associated problems :(
