Background: Behavioral addiction is identified as any persistent and repeated behavior that has damaging mental, physical, social, and financial effects on an individual’s life. And while these forms of addiction are less-known, they have generated debates among medical experts and organizations, specifically on their authenticity. Since university students are important resources who will take charge of future leading roles and positions in society, their mental health has been regarded as an important aspect in the development of individuals and society. Research among college students in US found that approximately 10.3% of the overall sample scored in the clinical range for cybersex addiction. Previous studies have investigated the prevalence of high-risk and potential-risk users of each addictive behavior in medical students. For risky users, the prevalence ranged from 5.6%–52.4% for internet use. Addictions in medical students are as prevalent as in a general population and that internet use and smartphone use may be better explained by a stress-addiction model with resilience and self-esteem as mediators than alcohol use.
