An eleven-year-old boy strangled an elderly woman for the equivalent of five dollars in 2007, then buried her body under a thin layer of sand. He told the police that he needed the money to play online videogames. Just a month later, an eight-year-old Norwegian boy saved his younger sister's life by threatening an attacking moose and then feigning death when the moose attacked him--skills he said he learned while playing World of Warcraft. As these two instances show, videogames affect the minds, bodies, and lives of millions of gamers, negatively and positively. This book approaches videogame addiction from a cross-disciplinary perspective, bridging the divide between liberal arts academics and clinical researchers. The topic of addiction is examined neutrally, using accepted research in neuroscience, media studies, and developmental psychology.

On May 25th, 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) voted to adopt the 11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases - adding Video Gaming Disorder as a diagnosable disorder. There is speculation that the American Psychiatric Association will also add a video game disorder in the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-6). There are strengths and weaknesses in the claim of a video game disorder. However, there are unique cultural factors found in the video game subculture that rebuke the concept of labeling players with a disorder. Video games are no longer the pastime of greasy faced nerds. Video games are made available to toddlers to the elderly, 24/7 online, and has a variety of category offering an always different immersive experience. In the 21st century, video games have made it to the main stage of conversations and have become a topic discussed in the news. ESPN now covers esports like traditional sports!The World Health Organization, the American Psychological Association and the DSM, researchers, medical professionals, and news outlets fail to adequately conceptualize the issue of what a gaming disorder means and how the medicalization of video games is going to affect the individuals and their community that is supposedly suffering. The voice and experience of the players are lost. Although there is merit in having a general addiction disorder and criteria for treatment, to single out video gaming as being its own disorder is unjust. The video game subculture is extremely valuable to society, and the contribution of players should be rejoiced instead of chastised. Examining relevant research, psychology, and news articles an argument is made that video game addiction is needless medicalization hazardous to the video game culture and players.

Are you addicted to playing digital games? Whether you want to (1) reclaim your life, (2) help a friend who is addicted to gaming, or (3) just understand the dangers of online gaming and how to minimize them, this book will teach you everything you need to know. Every addiction has its consequences. There are negative consequences to a gaming addiction. This book will help you fully comprehend the problems and learn how to help yourself or others break out of the addiction. Free yourself or others from unproductive behavior so life can be healthy and enjoyable again. Get some perspective on your gaming addiction. Online gaming is fun, there's no doubt about it! Gaming can help you explore your personality, enhance your creativity, and sharpen your problem-solving skills. However, if your virtual reality starts to damage your real-life interactions and health, then you have a problem. That is what this book is designed to address. I wrote "Gaming Addiction" for the purpose of guiding you through the process of evaluating your gaming activities to determine what is helping you and what aspects of your game of choice are actually messing up your life. I know, I know, gaming is your life! But is it a life that will lead to good things, or will it ultimately take you to a place you don't want to go? There is a healthy balance that can be attained. Get the best out of both "worlds." You can get what you want out of life, yes, real life. It is possible to continue to play online and still have a happy family, loving relationships, meaningful work, and delightful social experiences. The challenge is not letting the draw of the game overpower what you know you need to do and who you want to be. It's not healthy to spend all your time "checked out" from real life; some of the time it's okay to escape, but remember: while you're escaping from your life, there's nobody else out there who will live it for you. Gaming as Avoidance I get it. Sometimes life is just too harsh. We sometimes just need to get away. Yet, if you find yourself "escaping" to a virtual world to the point that you use your avatar more often than your real name, you're in trouble. For those of us who don't feel 100% confident around other people 100% of the time, it's easier to just camp out in an alternate universe. However, it's equally important to resist the temptation to spend all of your time there. While gaming can help improve social interaction (at least virtually), you need real world social interactions to truly grow and develop as a person. You also need real life social interaction to help avoid getting depressed. In this book I offer a variety ways you can take steps to interact without hiding behind an avatar. What Will You Discover About Gaming Addictions? An overview of online gaming addiction so you can better understand it. The physical and social risks associated with gaming addiction. The best treatments to break your addiction. How you can help someone who is addicted. The impact of long hours of gaming on your body and your mind.

IT MAY CAUSE SLEEP DEPRIVATION, ALIENATION OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY, WEIGHT LOSS OR GAIN, NEGLECT OF YOUR BASIC NEEDS AS WELL AS THE NEEDS OF LOVED ONES AND/OR DEPENDENTS, AND DECREASED PERFORMANCE ON THE JOB. THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN FANTASY AND REALITY MAY BECOME BLURRED. PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SUICIDE ATTEMPTS. No such warning was included on the latest and greatest release from the Warcraft series of massive multiplayer online role-playing games—World of Warcraft (WoW). So when Ryan Van Cleave—a college professor, husband, father, and one of the 11.5 million Warcraft subscribers worldwide—found himself teetering on the edge of the Arlington Memorial Bridge, he had no one to blame but himself. He had neglected his wife and children and had jeopardized his livelihood, all for the rush of living a life of high adventure in a virtual world. A fabulously written and gripping tale, Unplugged takes you on a journey through the author's semireclusive life with video games at the center of his experiences. Even when he was sexually molested by a young school teacher at age eleven, it was the promise of a new video game that had lured him to her house. As Ryan's life progresses, we witness the evolution of video games—from simple two-button consoles to today's multikey technology, brilliantly designed to keep the user actively participating. For Ryan, the virtual world was a siren-song he couldn't ignore, no matter the cost. As is the case with most recovering addicts, Ryan eventually hit rock bottom and shares with you his ongoing battle to control his impulses to play, providing prescriptive advice and resources for those caught in the grip of this very real addiction.
