Adult and youth gamers alike often brag of marathon gaming sessions wherein they play hour after hour. Some gamers go further, quipping that given their druthers they’d wile away every single day playing, 24/7. Is this much devotion healthy? Such extreme habitual gaming can morph into a serious disorder. In fact, the problem is becoming so prevalent that some doctors in Europe were inspired to open the first detox clinic for gamers. Debate rages within the medical field as to whether video game addiction is on par with serious disorders like drug addiction, and whether it should be classified as “addiction.” Regardless, the problem can be a serious one, as it’s been shown that addicted gamers tend to have corresponding mental health issues, like depression.
