Things have been going around my country they now call gaming a mental illness? I disagree who else’s is with me?

[SmG Phoenix]

I think they're talking about addiction. If you're addicted then possibly.

[DanTheDirtyMan]

yea I agree with you

[Alloy]

There is a mental illness with gaming if you are too addicted or/and become too emotionally attached to it.

[UzzyFTW]

Addiction, yes. Mental illness, no.

[SmG FlasH™]

Dunno about mental illness, but its quite addictive.

It could also lead to bad memory? idk.

[SmG CCPrincess]

I agree though, it's probably leaning more towards addiction. Once you're addicted to the point where everything is focused on just games, and you forget things like eating or sleeping, then it's a problem in that sense. Not sure if that would be classified under a mental illness though... *shrugs*

I think it's dumb that they consider that a form of entertainment is a mental illness >:(

[SmG PDrilla]

There are a few cases of people playing for long periods of time and have had severe consequences including death.
