"Game Addiction" officially recognized by the World Health Organization - @omr.dgli

Game addiction, which is often complained by families and spouses, is also known as "Game Disorder" by the World Health Organization as an official disease.

There are three indications of this disorder that emerged in the series this week

: The control on the game is malfunctioning (eg, onset, frequency, intensity, etc.).

Continuation or increase of game play despite negative results

You have encountered players who have indicated this indication as much as possible until now

Increase of priority to game and spread of this priority to other areas of interest and daily activities

. Nevertheless, I would like to state that this definition of the World Health Organization is not accepted in all circles. This definition criticized by different names is criticized by some health professionals as being too broad and subjective. Another reason for these criticisms is that the potential effect differs from man to man.

Meanwhile, it is worth mentioning that the "Game Disorder" defined by the World Health Organization is also compatible with other definitions of dependency. In addition to these, World Health Organization member Dr. Vladimir Poznyak also points out that the rate of game malfunction is low when compared to the number of players.
