The Impact of Extreme Video Gaming on Your Health

What is Video Game Addiction?
Video Game addiction is not yet seen as a “real” disorder by most medical associations, but it does exist, and its status as real is nearly there. This disorder does affect not only the victim but also those around.
 
There are two main types of video game addiction; one is standard video game addiction, where the game primarily focuses on single-player. The other sort is the addiction to online video games, which is ones who are affected dedicate to their virtual life rather than their actual reality.
​The Causes of Video Game Addiction
The video game industry relies on their games for profit.  So how do they maximize profit? Lure in customers with their games. Like the other famous addiction, gambling, video game aims are almost the same. They tempt you with the feeling of achievement after challenges.
 
Symptoms and How it Affects Your Health
There are two symptoms of video game addiction. There are emotional symptoms, and there are physical symptoms. If ever you have encountered someone who gets annoyed, irritated or restless when they can play or when their playtime gets disturbed; someone who has work to do, but their mind is busy thinking about next session; lies about something to play; is detached from everything to spend time gaming?
 
Then that person is positive from the emotional symptoms. As for the physical symptoms, the person affected is fatigued; has migraines from over absorption; has eye stress and problems; also neglected hygiene.
 
Problems Developing Around the Victim
As the addiction becomes severe, it will also affect others around the victim. Video games require cash, and some games are more money exploiting than others, e.g., some video games feature in-game purchases, which some addicts compulsively buy, to complete their virtual fantasy.
 
As most of those affected by the disorder are students, they are more likely to fail in academics, as their attention is geared towards their addiction. Still, some adults also fell into the condition, putting their careers and relationships with society highly at risk.
 
Assessment and Treatment
As with all addictions, it requires extensive and multiple measures, but video game addiction is treatable.  For the evaluation, if you or anyone you know tend to display any of the symptoms stated above, then the possibility of being affected is high.
 
The primary procedure requires the victim to acknowledge that video game addiction is to in fact, real. Next is to try to cut the time spent playing. If the urge is still overpowering, professional advice may be needed.
