“Working with Dr. Blair has been the most rewarding experience. Finally, I have been able to work through addiction, traumas, and severe depression that had debilitated my marriage, life, and work. I am beyond grateful for the great impact, healing, recovery, and teachings of the last year in this incredible process.”
Signs of Gaming Addiction
Similar to other forms of addiction, gaming disorder is marked by a persistent need to participate in video games despite the effect it may have on school, work, and personal relationships. Those with this form of addiction will place gaming as a priority over other interests and responsibilities, even when it leads to negative consequences.
Gaming addiction can be difficult to diagnose because there are many people who enjoy playing video games and may spend a significant amount of time doing so — but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are addicted according to the clinical definition. However, if you notice some of the following signs and symptoms, it may be wise to seek help:
-
Changes in mood or behavior
-
Social isolation
-
Ignoring other activities that were once loved
-
Irritability when not playing video games
-
Neglecting work, school, or other responsibilities to play games
-
Physical symptoms such as carpal tunnel syndrome and headaches
-
Inability to set limits on time spent on gaming
-
Spending more time playing to get the same level of enjoyment
