Life-Changing Affects Caused By Gaming Addiction

As a parent, nothing is more heartbreaking than seeing your child struggle with issues you never expected. If your child has been affected by video games like Fortnite, Call of Duty, or others, and is now facing health challenges, please know you're not alone, and this isn't your child's fault.

Recently, gaming companies been accused of prioritizing profit over the mental well-being of their users, leading to serious consequences for our children.

According to an article in the medical science journal Cureus, symptoms of video game addiction include:

• Distracting preoccupation with gaming
Someone with a gaming addiction may think about gaming excessively often or for long periods of time. Such thoughts may be intrusive and can distract them from other important tasks.


• Deception
A person with a gaming addiction may lie about how they spend their time. For example, a teenager may tell their parents they’ve been doing their homework. Their parents might know they’ve actually been in their room gaming for hours.

• Gaming interfering with daily tasks
Gaming addiction involves playing games for long periods of time every day or most days. Some devote so much time to gaming that they overlook other daily tasks, like eating and bathing.

• Loss of interest in other activities
Gaming addiction may take over someone’s life to the point that they no longer participate in activities they once enjoyed. For example, a gamer might stop playing sports or working out when they develop a gaming addiction.

• Withdrawing from social life
Gaming is often a solitary activity. A person experiencing gaming addiction may thus withdraw from their social life to devote more time to gaming. Relationships gamers make in the game may become more important than those in real life.

• Emotional and psychological changes
Gaming addiction may cause a person to be agitated or unfocused when they can’t game. When someone asks them to stop playing, they may become defensive or angry.

• Using gaming as an easy escape
Escapism isn’t inherently negative. Many people watch TV or read books to escape for a moment. However, those with gaming addictions may rely on gaming to escape from life, so they don’t have to address actual issues.

• Gaming despite experiencing consequences
Experiencing the consequences of gaming addiction may not stop a person from continuing to play video games too often. For example, perhaps someone’s relationship ends, or they drop out of school because they spend too much time gaming. If they don’t make changes despite this consequence, they might have a gaming addiction problem.

What Are the Signs of Video Game Addiction?

How Does Gaming Addiction Happen?

While internet gaming disorder has not been researched as fully yet as other types of addiction, there is a strong body of scientific evidence supporting our legal claims. Gaming companies may create gaming addiction through such tactics as:

• Hiring Ph.D. behavioral psychologists and neuroscientists to develop their games

• Using predatory monetization strategies 

• Collecting data to promote personalized content

• Using feedback loops to give users a reason to continue playing

What Are Treatment Options for Video Game Addiction?

Clinical evidence has shown that subjects addicted to online games experience biopsychological symptoms and complications including hangovers, changes in mood, adaptability, and withdrawal. Effective treatments for gaming addiction may include:

• Therapy/counseling
• Medication
• Substance abuse treatment


Research into gaming addiction treatments has been fairly limited thus far. More research must be done to determine how effective these treatments may be.
