Gaming Disorder

Gaming Disorder is a condition where an individual's gaming habits become compulsive and interfere significantly with daily life, including work, relationships, and responsibilities. It involves persistent and recurrent gaming behavior despite negative consequences, leading to distress or impairment. Recognized by health organizations like the WHO, it is similar to other behavioral addictions and often co-occurs with mental health issues such as anxiety or depression. Treatment typically includes counseling, behavioral therapy, and support to help establish healthier gaming habits and address underlying emotional concerns.
