Posting short auto-generated anecdotes doesn't mean anything if you don't actually read the article you're citing.
The WHO is classifying a "Gaming Disorder", not a disease.
While the increase is associated with clear benefits to users, for example in real-time information exchange, health problems as a result of excessive use have also been documented. In a number of countries, the problem has become a significant public health concern.
The concerns are over the non-physical addiction to gaming, much like addiction to gambling, leading to people neglecting their own health.
hooray for the world health organization
whenever someone tells me gender dysphoria isn't a mental illness and they cite WHO I'll just point them to this
I know you're a reactionary idiot and interacting with you is almost always a poor idea, but is neglecting your own personal health to continue to obsessively play videogames something that
shouldn't be considered a behavioral disorder? With the widespread popularity of virtual entertainment, why shouldn't there be a study into the behavioral science behind gaming?
Of course this was probably just an attempt to shoehorn a discussion about gender dysphoria and derail the thread into something you want to talk about.
