With the increase of active Internet users, various physical, social, and mental disorders have recently emerged because of the excessive use of technology. Cyber-Syndrome is known as the condition that appears due to the excessive interaction with the cyberspace, and it affects the users' physical, social, and mental states. In this paper, we discuss the etiology and symptoms of Cyber-Syndrome according to theories of Cyber-Physical-Social-Thinking (CPST) space and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. In addition, we also propose an entropy-based mechanism for recovery of Cyber-Syndrome, to provide potential guidance for clinical detection and diagnosis. Cyber-Syndrome has attracted much attention these days, and more in-depth exploration is needed in the future.
