Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and Child Depression Inventory (CDI) were used to evaluate the presence and severity of problematic internet use and also depression.Results: Approximately twenty-two percent ADOLESCENTS (21.7%) met the criteria for problematic CYBERSPACE use. The presence of problematic CYBERSPACE use was significantly associated with depression, generally (P<0.01), and its components: Sadness/Somatic Worries (P<0.01), Negative Self-Image/ pessimism (P<0.01), self-blame (P<0.01), lethargy (P<0.01), and isolation (P<0.01). Hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis showed that problematic cyber use, explained for 23.7% of the variance of depression.Conclusion: Problematic cyber use is a powerful risk factor for adolescent's mood health and increase the risk of DEPRESSION DISORDER among ADOLESCENTS.
