that and electronic devices. Has a negative impact on young brains. I plan on keeping my daughter limited on those things until she's a responsible person and can keep it in check.

Unreal. Video game addiction is officially considered a mental disorder, WHO says The World Health Organization made video game addiction an official mental health disorder. The Geneva-headquartered organization added "Gaming disorder" to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or "ICD-11," which goes into effect in January 2022. The condition is included in the global medical guide within a section detailing disorders due to substance use or addictive behaviors, along with "Gambling disorder."The ICD-11 describes "Gaming disorder" as recurrent video game playing that leads to "impaired control over gaming" and an "increasing priority given to gaming to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other life interests and daily activities," despite "the occurrence of negative consequences."

This diagnosis does not change anything. I will have to talk to my psychiatrist about getting the diagnosis when it becomes available. I will always be a gamer forever! Gaming is awesome!  JP

But if you are here on a forum do you have an addiction to gaming? The addict would be in the game gaming rather then online reading about gaming addiction.

Video game addiction is officially considered a mental disorder, WHO says
The World Health Organization made video game addiction an official mental health disorder. The Geneva-headquartered organization added "Gaming disorder" to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or "ICD-11," which goes into effect in January 2022.
The condition is included in the global medical guide within a section detailing disorders due to substance use or addictive behaviors, along with "Gambling disorder."The ICD-11 describes "Gaming disorder" as recurrent video game playing that leads to "impaired control over gaming" and an "increasing priority given to gaming to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other life interests and daily activities," despite "the occurrence of negative consequences."
The WHO?!?!? They are about as corrupt as it gets. Big pharma has been pushing this stupid "diagnosis" for years now to sell more pills. Of course, the more people you get on pills, smoking legalized substances and drinking legalized substances the less they care about more important things..... how convenient for a certain few who need it that way. They all really disgust me.

You would need to of had this happen while you where in the Service and this starts in 2022 so you will have to re-enlist back in the Service and stay till at lest 2024 to be covered. But then you would most likely receive a dishonorable discharged for Gaming and going AWOL just to Game and not fulfilling your Duty.

+1... plus I think a lot of people forget that if they get classified or "diagnosed" with this mental disorder that you can lose your ability to own and use firearms legally, isn't that convenient, and depending on the severity they can take your drivers license or suspend it temporarily and assign a representative payee to handle your money FOR you too. Im sure theres others things im not thinking of too but sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Agree with you 100 percent, bcav. Freakin' voters in Denver just passed an ordinance essentially legalizing psychedelic mushrooms! Wonder if Tricare will cover all these newly-discovered (i.e., "made-up") diseases.

Well you do not Really Play American Army, you serve in the American Army and it is not a game that you play. Remember that Serving is a Privilege; Not a Right.

Everything is a disease anymore. There is a compulsion to label everything and frame a narrative around it. I really wish those sort of people would crawl back under the rock they came from. Inclusiveness is giving the lunatic fringe a voice and people forgot how to tune out noise in favor of being told what what should be important to them. Critical thinking is not a life skill taught anymore.
