Help for computer addiction.

[Romulator]

Has he recently purchased a game or software and dedicating himself to it? A similar thing happens to me where I pretty much obsess with it until completion, which really takes its toll on my social, educational and scheduled life. If this is the case, it's really just a phase. However much satisfaction the software provides to him will determine how long the phase lasts.

I recommend, if you're quite worried with him, to see if you can isolate him from the computer or other devices to just have a brief talk with him to explain your concerns. He may or may not want to hear about it, but people don't know something is affecting others until they are aware.
