effectiveness of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) on IAD treatment in
adolescents. Method: The method used in writing this article was a
literature review. Reports were obtained through search sites such as
Proquest, Science Direct, and PubMed with a range of publication years
2015-2021. Nine main journals were used as references by the authors.
Results: From the nine major journals, it was found that CBT was
effective in treating and reducing the signs and symptoms of internet
addiction in adolescents. After being given CBT intervention for 1-12

gadget use, anxiety, depression, and impulsive behavior in adolescents
