Leader RedBaird Posted January 8, 2018 Leader Share Posted January 8, 2018 Very Interesting! The article did quote a counter-opinion: Alexander Blaszczynski, a professor of clinical psychology at the University of Sydney, Australia told Futurism he is concerned about “the absence of clear diagnostic criteria determining what constitutes a gaming disorder, and the validity of applying existing addiction criteria to a behavior.” He noted that there is a range of behaviors now being identified as addictions — everything from salsa dancing, to smartphones, to in vitro fertilization. “At what point does an activity transform from an entertainment to a disorder?” he said. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat0n Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 There's no such thing that addiction to gaming, excessive gaming is either per choice or caused by extrinsic factors like family problems or social problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And beyond that, one can consider that any repeated activity becomes an addiction. So everything can be considered as addictive as far as you do it several times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
