Gaming and Smartphone Addiction

Video Game Addiction is an excessive or compulsive use of computer games or video games, which interferes with a person’s everyday life. Online game addiction has a negative image and is becoming a public concern.

Many people categorize addiction with either alcohol or drugs, but addiction can play also a part in a person’s behavior. When one is addicted they need more of a substance or behavior to keep them satisfied. If a person does not get more of the substance or behavior they may become miserable or irritable. Video game addiction may present itself as compulsive game-playing; social isolation, mood swings, lack of imagination and hyper-focus on in-game achievements, to the exclusion of other events in life
