RE: Video Game Addiction - Disease or Disorder?
Kids are entering a computer world from birth and I see them becoming addicted before my eyes from three or four years old. it will change the face of society. Gaming is a huge culture and industry so can't be ignored for better or worse.
I do notice that they are appealing to younger and younger people. Also a lot more girls these days. The type of addict will change accordingly. However the stereotype stays as the under 30 years old male. Treatments and risk profiles will change too.
I recently read about a 9 year old girl who wet her pants because she didn't want stop playing for a few minutes to relieve herself properly (you can't pause fortnight). She physically attacked her parents when they tried to help her. I'm not saying an adult won't do that but imagine being those parents?
