How do you recognize a gaming addiction? Excessive gaming can carry risks such as addiction. Game addiction is a serious problem that requires help from professional agencies. In 2014, figures from addiction clinics with a youth ward showed that more and more young people are registering there to kick their addiction. These gamers are sometimes only 10, 11 or 12 years old. They are also more addicted than a few years ago.

The WHO (World Health Organization) recognized game addiction as an official addiction in 2018. Typical characteristics for a gaming addiction are: • A lack of control over how much you game • Social conflicts due to gaming • Think about gaming all the time • Withdrawal symptoms when not gaming • Keep gaming, even if it has negative consequences • A preference for gaming over other daily activities Some scientists are against the official recognition of game addiction. They argue for more research into problem behavior around gaming. For example, according to Tony van Rooij of the Trimbos Institute, it is not yet clear whether the gaming behavior is a symptom of problems or a cause (or both).
