What are the complications of cyberphobia?

Without treatment, people with this condition can withdraw from everyday life. They may become paranoid about their information getting stolen through the internet. This intense paranoia or fear can cause them to stop sending or responding to emails or using a smartphone.

To avoid coming into contact with a computer, people with severe cyberphobia may stop going to work or school. They might fear leaving their house (agoraphobia). They may choose to stay home where they can control their exposure to computers. Damaged relationships, financial problems, isolation and depression can result from this disorder.
