 Understanding Video Game Addiction
For most players of all ages, playing video games is a fun
pastime a way to relax, connect with friends, and enjoy a
challenge. Unfortunately, for some players, a video game
hobby can escalate into an addictive disorder which takes
over their lives.

In recent years, the smartphone has surpassed the

computer and the console as the most common gaming
device, with video games now available on apps and social
media. Furthermore, massively multiplayer online role-
playing games (MMORPGs) continue to be immensely popular. Every day, games like League of
Legends, World of Warcraft, Fortnite, Final Fantasy, and The Elder Scrolls Online draw millions of players
into their virtual worlds.

Like all good things, videos games are best in moderation. Adults and children alike can develop unhealthy,
obsessive relationships with video games that they love.

Gaming Disorder: Why Video Games Can Be Addictive

It is important to understand that the amount of time that someone spends playing a video game does not
necessarily indicate that they have an addiction. After all, someone could spend many hours playing a video
game just because they enjoy it, but they could also stop without much difficulty. By contrast, a person
are aware that the video game is
causing them to neglect their family, friends, work, and education, but they keep playing because they feel
best behind the screen.

this suggests that they might have a disorder which is just as real as alcoholism or dependence
on prescription drugs. While video game withdrawal is still being studied, researchers have documented
possible video game withdrawal symptoms, including fatigue, headaches, insomnia, aggressive emotions,
and intense cravings to play video games again.

Moreover, video games affect the brain in the same way as addictive drugs: they trigger the release of
dopamine, a chemical which reinforces behavior. For this reason, playing video games can be an addictive
stimulus. These facts indicate that addiction to video games may be possible.
