--- Quote from: Dreams_Of_Cheese on December 29, 2017, 10:04:14 PM ---a more reasonable title might be closer to "gaming addiction medically recognized as disorder." gaming isnt the disorder. it's the addiction. --- End quote --- Which is true. But, the article is like worded in a way makes it Gaming in general is a disorder than calling it an addiction. Even the loving name makes it too broad. |

Before you complain about this should really look at the official ICD draft, rather than just a news article. They basically just copy and pasted the definition of gambling disorder and replaced 'gambling' with 'gaming' Gambling: https://icd.who.int/dev11/l-m/en#/http%3a%2f%2fid.who.int%2ficd%2fentity%2f1041487064 --- Quote ---Gambling disorder is characterized by a pattern of persistent or recurrent gambling behaviour, which may be online (i.e., over the internet) or offline, manifested by: 1) impaired control over gambling (e.g., onset, frequency, intensity, duration, termination, context); 2) increasing priority given to gambling to the extent that gambling takes precedence over other life interests and daily activities; and 3) continuation or escalation of gambling despite the occurrence of negative consequences. The behaviour pattern is of sufficient severity to result in significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning. The pattern of gambling behaviour may be continuous or episodic and recurrent. The gambling behaviour and other features are normally evident over a period of at least 12 months in order for a diagnosis to be assigned, although the required duration may be shortened if all diagnostic requirements are met and symptoms are severe. --- End quote --- Gaming: https://icd.who.int/dev11/l-m/en#/http%3a%2f%2fid.who.int%2ficd%2fentity%2f1448597234 --- Quote ---Gaming disorder is characterized by a pattern of persistent or recurrent gaming behaviour (‘digital gaming’ or ‘video-gaming’), which may be online (i.e., over the internet) or offline, manifested by: 1) impaired control over gaming (e.g., onset, frequency, intensity, duration, termination, context); 2) increasing priority given to gaming to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other life interests and daily activities; and 3) continuation or escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences.

*gaming addiction just like how gambling, shopping, and research can become addictions. obsessive gaming, where you neglect your and others' needs, is a disorder. |
