In modern society, video games have become an indispensable part of many people's lives. However, sometimes we may fall into the vortex of the game and cannot extricate ourselves. Have you ever felt that you spent too much time in the game, ignoring the responsibilities and challenges of the real world? If so, you may be interested in the problem of gaming addiction.
In 2018, the World Health Organization released a new version of the International Classification of Diseases, which listed 'gaming disorder' as a disease. However, diagnosing addiction is not an easy task. At present, the diagnosis of gaming addiction internationally mainly depends on two major criteria: one is the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) issued by the World Health Organization, and the other is the 'Mental Disorders and Statistical Manual' (DSM) published by the American Mental Disease Association.
Both standards emphasize two core features:
Time and energy investment : Game addicts spend a lot of time and energy in the game and often ignore other important matters in real life. They may not be able to assume corresponding responsibilities, such as work, school or family responsibilities.
Decreased self-control : Game addicts gradually weaken their self-control, even letting the game dominate their lives. They may not be able to control their game time independently, which will affect their daily lives.
