Video Game Addiction Being Classified as Mental Illness?

[GoldenGlove]

I couldn't copy and paste for some reason so I'm throwing a screen cap of some of the article in here. I wonder what they would classify system war argument addiction for those who don't even play the games they talking about.

Compulsive video-game playing could be mental health problem

there was a thread on this. and the overall thought was...cut us a check if that's how they pushing it. But there was a story about a 9 year old girl who was REALLY addicted to Fortnite where she used her parents credit card on a bunch of micro transactions, and even when her parents took her Xbox away, she snuck late at night and played it. The worst part is that she even pissed herself just so she could sit there and continue to play the game. She in rehab now.

So if that's the type of addiction they talking then by all means.

It's all bullshyt.

On average American adults spend a 3rd of their waking hours in front of an hdtv and no interaction with it.

Deflection so politicians have someone to blame.
All these addiction stories are just mentally ill anyways.

I'm glad I'm currently addicted to God of War

Lots to learn from playing a game like that

When I was in rehab, the facility was treating a few people with video game addiction.

The facility had to block gaming websites because of this, much to my dismay.

everything is mental illness to some people.

Gotta watch these kids mayne... Parents need to engage and interact with their kids instead of just shoving a phone or a tablet in front of them just so they can shut up

Of course video games can be an addiction. Just look into how the brain works, any behavior can become compulsory and morph into an addiction.

Besides drugs, video game, internet (youtube etc) are really potent generators of dopamine because they designed to do just that, provide pleasure in high quantities and intensity. Plus they are introduced pretty early in our childhood in the years when our brains are the most vulnerable and susceptible to create detrimental neural connections.

Good thing they finally realize it. But the U.N. Health Agency and the world in general aren't ready for what's to come. When the babies we're raising right now grow up and phone/tablet/screen addiction hit full force, we're gonna see interesting stuff and takes on technology and how it affects behaviors. Parents' laziness will be fully exposed and a lot of people are going to regret how much they thought an electronic device could raise an human being. shyt's going to blow up in their faces.
