At the Castle Craig clinic in the south of Scotland, scientists created a treatment course for addiction to cryptocurrency. Scientists have identified a new type of mental disorder with the help of polls.
According to the experts studying the addiction to cryptocurrency, trading of digital currency turns into a disease just when you begin to monitor the slightest fluctuations of your virtual investments uncontrollably.
"Castle Craig provides treatment to people who are keen on day-trading, trading of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and Litecoin. We consider this as a form of gambling, "- says the website of the clinic. Why these tokens are considered as especially dangerous - is not known yet.
Among the symptoms of addiction to cryptocurrency, scientists include muscle tension, anxiety, constant monitoring of prices of digital assets (at night as well), thoughts about trading or other actions.
"For some people, trading in cryptocurrency is becoming a way to escape to another world, because the world in which they live, they do not like," says clinic doctor Tony Marini.
In the rehabilitation center, "cryptocurrency abusers" work in groups where they tell their stories and with the help of specialists try to get rid of their addiction. According to experts, every tenth trader from the US is addicted to cryptocurrency.
Many countries are really engaged in studying the issue of addiction to cryptocurrency. South Korea, for example, is one of the countries where the addiction to cryptocurrency causes serious fears of the authorities and may become a reason for the rigid regulation of the digital currency market. Russia also belongs to a number of countries that paid attention to the new human disease. In Moscow, a free service of psychological support has already been launched for miners and cryptocurrency investors.
