Video game addiction is a behavioral condition where individuals spend excessive amounts of time playing video games, often to the detriment of their daily lives. This can lead to neglect of responsibilities, social isolation, and physical health issues. Symptoms may include irritability when not playing, loss of interest in other activities, and a strong urge to play. The World Health Organization recognizes video game addiction as a mental health disorder, specifically termed Gaming Disorder. Treatment options often involve therapy, lifestyle changes, and support groups to help individuals regain control over their gaming habits and improve their overall well-being.
