Video Game Addiction Explained

[Conantas]

I didn't hear what the Dr. lady was saying, because I was more focused on watching some guy sucking at COD.
Plus, it's better to be addicted to video games than it is to drugs...

When she says "winning is renforcing" the guy get's shotgunned in the face...

Only 5 hours? In my day off, I wake up, play games, eat, then play games again, then eat again, then play games again and then I go to sleep, the end.

Because He had a camera in face and knowing full well that it's going to be on The Discovery Network. That's enough to make anyone chock...

[tinojams]

Do you know that he's not prestige?

Also he's part of a clan so I guess yeah he's pretty into games as a serious hobby. AKA he's addicted.

Agree, I cannot go to my nearest airport and shoot it up, Video games give you the chance to be someone else, decide for someone else (a character) and its just pure fun. No wonder the Video Game industry has had such a huge boom.

Psychoanalysis is outdated; "psych" translates to "breath", "spirit", "soul", of which the last two are unverifiable, along with Freud's subconcious/unconscious. Serotonin deficiencies contribute to OCD, and addictions are often considered to be impulse control disorders, also on the obsessive-compulsive spectrum. The prefrontal cortex and dopamine (and the frontal lobes) are linked with attention, delaying gratification, weighing consequences and decision making (and memory). Omega-3 can help.

Did you read my other post though? I said soccer was a bad example and the message I was trying to get across was that there are bigger things to worry about than putting in research for this. I know video game addiction is bad, but there are bigger things to discuss. If someone wants to waste their life sitting in front of a TV screen for 16 hours a day, let them. There the ones addicted, if they don't want to help themselves how can we help them?
