Do you use streaming sites like Netflix? Do you regularly binge watch shows? If yes, then you might want to be careful of your habit as 'Netflix addiction' is actually a thing now and its first case has just come into light in Bengaluru.

The Service for Healthy Use of Technology (SHUT) clinic at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (Nimhans) in Bengaluru received the first case of Netflix addiction last week where a 26-year-old unemployed man turned to Netflix to escape reality, spending nearly seven hours daily binge-watching shows for the past six months, reports The Hindu.
