Gaming Addiction Treatment
Do You Need Help With Video Game Addiction? Help For Gaming Disorder
Gaming; it’s a pleasure enjoyed around the world and what’s more, it’s enjoyed through the ages too. Whether it’s a child who’s just come home from school or an adult who’s looking to relax a little, gaming can be a fun activity to pass the time.
The problem arises however when gaming becomes more than a simple way of passing the time and becomes something that a person actively seeks out despite more important matters arising. Gaming can become addictive and a gaming addiction is a very real thing; every bit as real as a substance abuse addiction.
According to experts, some of the most addictive games out there include:
- World Of Warcraft
- The infamous Fortnite
- As well as Call Of Duty
- Even Solitaire
The biggest culprits however are those that offer huge multiplayer platforms.
The reason behind this is simply down to the fact that it requires total dedication in order to achieve success within the game and very quickly becomes all-consuming. Platforms like this require players to return time and again.

Need Help With Online Games Addiction?
If someone you know may be spending a lot of time in front of their favourite game, this doesn’t necessarily mean an addiction has taken hold. It’s very important to see the difference between an addiction and someone simply spending excessive time with their game station. If however, they’re spending excessive time in front of their games console and beginning to demonstrate the above symptoms, a gaming addiction could very well be present.
How Have Games Become So Addictive?
With gaming addictions, the ‘reward’ is offered with every level completed and can sometimes feel like there is no end in sight. With the right addiction treatment, however, gaming addiction can become a thing of the past.
Treating gaming addictions however is akin to treating other behavioural addictions such as Internet addiction or even sex addiction; It’s very personal to the addict themselves. It should begin with a full diagnosis and acceptance of the situation. From there, our therapists can begin looking at the right treatment plan.
