Understanding Gaming Disorder and Its Impact on Mental Health
In today's digital era, gaming has become a popular form of entertainment and has gained immense popularity among people of all ages. While gaming can be a fun and engaging activity, it's important to recognize that excessive gaming can lead to negative consequences, especially when it starts interfering with other aspects of daily life.
At Alison K Bowles, Ma, Lmhc, we understand the potential impact of gaming disorder on mental health. With our dedicated team of professionals, we provide specialized therapy and support to individuals who are struggling with gaming addiction and its associated challenges.
What is Gaming Disorder?
Gaming disorder, recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a mental health condition, refers to a pattern of persistent and recurrent gaming behavior that takes precedence over other life interests and activities. It is characterized by impaired control over gaming, increasing priority given to gaming over other activities, and continuation or escalation of gaming despite negative consequences.
Individuals with gaming disorder often experience significant distress and impairment in various areas of life, such as personal relationships, education, work, and overall well-being. It is essential to address gaming disorder and provide individuals with effective treatment options to minimize its impact and improve their quality of life.
