What is video gaming addiction?
Video gaming addiction is clinically recognised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as “Gaming Disorder” where video games take priority over one’s life over other important activities, with a loss of control and negative consequences such as school refusal, violence, poor concentration, depression and anxiety. Assessment and management plans for Australians are now available. You can watch my TEDx Talk “The Spell of Digital Immersion” from 2015 here:
