Great Hang Up: Texting OCD? | News

Great Hang Up: Some therapists think texting and attachment to texting gadgets could be a new form of an obsessive compulsive disorder when you can't stop checking the phone or have trouble disconnecting.

Family therapist Tom Orrock suggests limiting time on gadgets for younger kids and monitoring signs of withdrawal like irritability when you take it away.

For all ages he suggest trying a break from our phone for two hours, once a wee and see how it goes.

Spending too much time connected can make it harder to hang up and drive as well.
