Gaming Disorder Recognized by Doctors

Columbia, SC (WOLO) — Playing Video Games too much and too often will soon be recognized as a mental health disorder.

“Gaming Disorder” as it is referred to will be added to the official list of diseases by the World Health Organization next year.

Its Symptoms include the inability to control when and how to play video games. Another red flag according to doctors, is when someone chooses games over other interests in life and keeps playing despite negative consequences.

Adding “Gaming Disorder” to the list of diseases will mean that it will be recognized by doctors and Insurance Companies.
