Most people enjoy video games as an entertaining diversion. However, a consumer advocacy group is highlighting the serious and growing problem of video game addiction. This addiction affects not just children and young adults but can impact anyone across different ages and occupations. Children are particularly vulnerable and may struggle to break free from addictions formed at a young age.
Those truly addicted to video games often replace real-life interactions with excessive gaming, which can interfere with work or school. Over time, their gaming hours increase, leading to withdrawal symptoms like irritability and moodiness when they aren't playing. Some individuals may spend up to 70 or 80 hours a week gaming, leaving little room for work, social life, or even sleep.
Parents can spot addiction signs in children by monitoring gaming time. Excessive gaming can lead to fatigue if children sacrifice sleep to play, potentially causing them to fall asleep in school. They might also become irritable when not gaming. If these signs appear, it's crucial to involve teachers, other parents, and professionals to address the issue early.
Adults are more challenging to monitor, but workplace performance can be a clue. If an employee is falling asleep or underperforming, a discussion is necessary. While admitting to gaming issues can be difficult due to feelings of guilt, friends, and colleagues should address the problem directly with the person. Ignoring it won’t help?"it’s essential to tackle it before it becomes a physical addiction, with symptoms like carpal tunnel syndrome, sleep disturbances, neck and back pain, dry eyes, and neglect of personal hygiene.
Video game addiction replaces real-world experiences with virtual ones, requiring intervention from friends, family, and potentially healthcare professionals and support groups to overcome.
