Doing things that you enjoy is a great feat. However, in retrospect, did you go overboard with your hobby? At what extent did it become an addiction? Those are the questions that experts are continuously seeking for an answer especially in the case of playing video games.
Different groups cannot agree on a unanimous conclusion as to whether playing too many video games should be considered as an addiction.
In its latest medical reference book called the International Classification of Diseases, the World Health Organization has listed “gaming disorder” as a medical condition. This is not in congruence with the American Psychiatry Association’s manual, the DSM-5, which did not list video game addiction as a disorder.
