The World Health Organization recognizes the game's addiction as a mental disorder. The drug is going to be listed as the first psychiatric drug to add to the game of computer games. In the 11th International Classification of Diseases, it is referred to as `gaming disorder '.
This gaming addict has been described in a draft document by the World Health Organization as a kind of behavior that removes the person from the attraction of life and everything else.
Gaming addiction in some countries in the world has already been identified as a major public health problem. Some countries, including the UK, already have private treatment clinics for its treatment.
The World Health Organization created the latest International Classification of Diseases (ICD) in 1992. The new guideline will be published this year.
This guide has detailed information about the various diseases, codes, symptoms and symptoms. Doctors and researchers tried to diagnose the disease by comparing it with it.
When the gaming addiction will be described as a mental health problem, its details will be in the World Health Organization's guideline.
It has been said that, after 12 months of unusual gaming addiction or behavior, it should be taken to the diagnosis. However, in some cases, if there is just too much of abnormal behavior, then 12 months, the action can be taken before it.
The signs that have been mentioned here-

  1. Losing their own control over gaming (especially how often, how intense and how long gaming is being done)
  2. Giving top priority to gaming
  3. Gaming continued or even more gaming despite negative effects
    Dr. Richard Graham, Technology Education Specialist of Nightingale Hospital in London, welcomed this move of the World Health Organization.
    'It is very important. Because this will create more specialized medical opportunities. By doing this, people will take such gaming addiction more seriously. '
    However, against those who see gaming addiction as a mental disorder, he is sympathetic to them.
    He admits that many parents can be confused with this. Only gaming is encouraging because children can think they are "sick".
    Dr. Richard Graham said that he saw nearly 50 cases of digital addiction every year. Due to this addiction, efforts are made to understand the level of addiction problems based on their impact on sleep, eating, social gathering and education.
    When looking at the patient, he gave the most importance to one thing. How much gaming addiction affects the neurological system? How does it affect the thinking ability or the ability to stay absorbed?
    Many countries around the world are worried about gaming addiction In South Korea, the government has enacted such laws that children under 16 years of age can not play online games until midnight.
    In Japan, if someone plays a game over a certain time, the warning is sent to him. Tensent children in China's biggest internet company, how long can they play games.
    A recent Oxford University study says that children spend too much time looking at the screen, but they can adapt to this digital world with their daily life.
    Studies have shown that boys have more time playing video games than girls.
    The researcher Kilian Mulan said that people think that the children are sitting in front of the screen for 24 hours a day, and they are not doing anything. Not really. In our research, we see that they are using technology for various purposes. They are also using technology to do school homework.
    'How do we behave as adults, in the same way, children are using their digital technology in the whole of the day, and they are doing something else, not at once.'
