World Health Organization Introduces Gaming Disorder

mage: Marco Verch

The World Health Organization has added the term "gaming disorder"
to its International Classification of Diseases. It refers to people who
are addicted to video and other games and cannot stop. It is the first update in
the WHO's catalogue in almost three decades.

According to the WHO, gaming becomes a disorder if you are unable to control
how long you play and when to stop. When that happens, it gets control of your
life, influences everyday situations and affects your daily routine. WHO
officials say that excessive gaming is a serious disorder that must be closely
watched.

In order for a person to be regarded as having a gaming disorder, the behavior

must be going on for at least one year, either constantly or in phases. Gamers put
their addiction above their family life, meeting with friends and going to school.

On one side studies have shown that playing video games may help with
problems like depression and dementia. However, gaming is highly addictive
and many people play for a longer time than is healthy. As a result, people get
 fired for not going to work or miss school classes for a longer period of time.

Many continue with their addiction, even if they see and realize the negative
consequences it leads to.
