Question by IIIIIIIIII: AM I the only one who thinks video game addiciton is not real?
For some reason I believe that video game addiction is not real. I believe that it is the newest scapegoat to go to and to point fingers at when something is bad. A comon thing I hear “IF you can get addicted to video games you can get addicted to anything.” Um, no not really. Currently VG addiction does not exist in the DSM. Here is a list of reasons why I think they are not real
1. Kids would rather play video games than do homework.
I hear this one a lot. I would hear from people “These children are neglecting their homework or adults are nneglectingtheir work to play video games.” Well, no matter who you are or what job you have. Doing homework and school work sucks
2. VIdeo games make people anti social. Um, no. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Video games don’t make people anti social it is the persons choice
3. You can get bored of video games. Just like a book or a movie. People often get bored of video games and would probably move on to something else for a while after they are bored
4. We don’t say television is addicting or books are addicting. We believe that these are normal hobbies or aactivity’speople do and none questions that.
5. There might be some underlying problem. People with so called “Video Game Addiction” might have some other problem like depression or some other case that they have.
6. Parents use video games as a babysiter than go complain. I believe that some parents would use VGs as a baby sitter and then when they find out that they have been playing for 72 hours or something they would go and blame the video games for its fault. Not the parents who let their kid play for so long.
There was recently a video game addiction clinic that opened up a few years ago who closed its doors because they thought that video games arn’t the problem. But it might be some other problem that people have.

Question by Question Mark: Why is there a lack of treatment for video game addiction?
For some reason whenever I read a story on video game addiction or see a help website for video games people always seem to think the best way to treat it is to stop playing video games. But what’s the point? If I do have video game addiction I’m just going to move onto some other addiction. But then again, people spend all day on facebook, cell phones, television, texting, watching movies and so on and none seems to claim those are addictions. I play games for 3 hours a day and people seem to think that 3 hours is too long. I don’t think gaming addiction is real though. Just like how video games don’t cause violence. I mean, kids get obsessed with spongebob. When in adults they want to play video games they may be stressed out at work or they have some other problem in their marraige that they want to keep playing. So why is it considered an addiction by everyone else. But people use their cell phones, facebook, texting, internet or other hobbies? Why is there a lack of treatment for it?
@trance: It looks like that you just have a time management problem with your gaming. Why don’t you cut back on it a little and maybe do some other hobbies as well. All hobbies can become time consuming like working on a hobby car, or doing fishing, or anything like that.    Read more...
