Are you addicted to your phone?

You're not alone.

According to recent research by SecurEnvoy, an internet security firm, more people feel anxious and tense when they are out of reach of their phone -- and the younger they are, the more likely the stress.

Known as "nomophobia," a recent online survey found that almost two thirds (66%) of respondents were afflicted, a rise of 11% when compared to a similar study four years ago. According to the survey, the younger you are, the more prone you are to nomophobia. The youngest age group (18 -24) tops the nomophobic list at 77%. Nomophobia is also more common among women than men.

Research has also found that people who use mobile phones for more than three hours a day have a higher chance of getting nomophobia. Prevalent as it may be, nomophobia, however, is not yet a qualified phobia, though it is a growing problem.
