Is there such thing as PC video game addiction?

Answer 1

Doctors groups have been lobbying for 'Video Game Addiction' to be classified as a psychiatric disorder. I remember following up on this debate some months ago. Let me see if I can find a link to direct you to.

There is no classification for 'Video game Addiction' so far, but doctors are pushing for it. Why? Well, one could think two ways on it.

One thought is doctors want it to be studied and diagnosed until an appropriate solution or 'cure' could be found.

Another thought is once it has a classification, doctors can now charge medical insurances for it. (Right now, it's simply not covered and has to be paid out of pocket)

I myself see the addiction as a reality with negative social side effects, many of which are listed on the website. But that is just my opinion.

Playing games is ok, but don't play them too much.
