By Jeff Donn Associated Press Writer Sunday, August 22, 1999; 3:21 p.m. EDT BOSTON (AP) -- Almost 6 percent of Internet users suffer from some form of addiction to it, according to the largest study ever of such people. ''Marriages are being disrupted, kids are getting into trouble, people are committing illegal acts, people are spending too much money. As someone who treats patients, I see it,'' said David Greenfield, the therapist and researcher who did the study. ....... Researchers said Internet addiction will ultimately be broken down into several categories, perhaps revolving around sex and relations, consumerism, gambling, stock trading, and obsessive Internet surfing for its own sake.
