Internet addiction is a current problem that mainly affects the population of university students. Furthermore, Spain is one of the European countries with the highest rates of problematic Internet use. The objectives of this study were focused on analyzing the degree of Internet addiction of university students and checking if Internet addiction influenced the students' state of depression, anxiety, stress and self-control. For this, a cross-sectional design was used from the application of a survey to a total sample of 1013 students from the University of Granada (Spain). The results indicated that the problematic and abusive use of the Internet significantly affects the states of depression, anxiety and stress and to a lesser extent the student's self-control, aggravating them in all cases. Finally, it is necessary to understand that Internet addiction is a growing problem in the youth population, which leads to states of fatigue, anguish, tension, discomfort and errors in their daily lives.
