Video game addiction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search See also: Internet addiction disorder and Computer addiction

Video game addiction , or more broadly video game overuse , is excessive or compulsive use of computer and video games that interferes with daily life. Instances have been reported in which users play compulsively, isolating themselves from, or from other forms of, social contact and focusing almost entirely on in-game achievements rather than broader life events. There is no diagnosis of video game addiction , although it has been proposed for inclusion in the next version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
