More and more clinics are starting to offer help in getting rid of cryptocurrency addiction. Psychologists point out that the number of crypto-dependent market participants is growing. Crypto Help Centers offer programs aimed at getting rid of it.
In particular, such services are offered by Castle Craig located in Scotland. In 2016, he became one of the first in the world to offer a rehabilitation program for getting rid of dependence on trading in cryptocurrency assets.
According to the doctors of the center, the number of those who are faced with the problem of dependence on cryptocurrencies is constantly growing.

By its nature, cryptocurrency addiction is similar to gambling addiction. It is characterized by investing in high-risk currencies, which at the physiological level is accompanied by a significant adrenaline rush, causing addiction to strong emotions and an obsession to quickly make a profit during trading.
Cryptocurrency addiction also causes compulsive behavior, excessive fixation on news about the market. Because of this, a person is increasingly inclined to use extremely risky trading strategies.
An interesting fact is that different countries have different attitudes towards cryptocurrency addiction.
In particular, in the PRC over the past 10 years there has been a lot of discussion regarding Internet addiction. According to official statistics from 2010, at that time at least 33 million young users were addicted to Internet games and other types of online entertainment:
4 years ago, the PRC imposed a limit on the amount of time that minors can spend in online games. Persons under the age of 18 were forbidden to play from ten in the evening until eight in the morning. At the moment, persons under 18 years of age were allowed to run online games for no more than one hour (and strictly from 20:00 to 21:00) only on Fridays, weekends, and also on public holidays.
It is not known how many crypto dependents are actually in the world
No one can indicate the exact numbers about how many crypto-addicts are now in the world. In clinics offering services to get rid of cryptocurrency addiction, they only indicate that the number of patients is constantly growing. The complexity of the calculations lies in the fact that many traders trade either from home PCs or from smartphones.
Therefore, only one thing can be said – the number of crypto-addicts is increasing, which means that the number of clinics that will offer investors and traders services to get rid of it will grow.
