Compulsive Gamers Are Not Addicts

It would appear that the whole “gamer addiction” thing is a buncha hooey! Says who? How about the guy that is treating all these “addicted” gamers.

"These kids come in showing some kind of symptoms that are similar to other addictions and chemical dependencies," he says. "But the more we work with these kids the less I believe we can call this addiction. What many of these kids need is their parents and their school teachers - this is a social problem."
