Game Withdrawal In astudy conducted in 2016, individuals with an official diagnosis of an internet gaming disorder were directly compared to individuals who also played video games but not to a pathological degree.

This study suggests that both addicted and non-addicted individuals can experience withdrawal symptoms, which may include: ● Increased irritability ● Stress ● Anxiety ● Depression or sadness ● Strong desire to play video games ● Loneliness ● Restlessness ● Mood swings Yellow Pond

- 39. Gaming Addiction andCo-Occurring Disorders Gaming addiction often co-occurs with disorders including substance use disorders and other mental health conditions. Particularly in children and adolescents, having another disorder may impact an individual’s propensity to become addicted to video games. Some conditions that co-occur with gaming addiction include: ● Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): In a study conducted in 2019, individuals diagnosed with ADHD were found to be at higher risk for a co-occurring video game addiction. Additionally, severe cases of ADHD were at higher risk for video game addiction than less severe cases, indicating a relationship between the two disorders. ● Autism: In a study published in 2013, male adolescents ages 8–18 that were diagnosed with autism spent almost twice as long playing video games compared with typical males or those diagnosed with ADHD. These results indicate that having autism may predispose individuals to more severe video game addictions. ● Depression: A recent study showed a link between depression and video game addiction based on brain scans of adolescent males diagnosed with pathological gaming. The study found that video game addiction caused activation in certain brain regions and was associated with worsening depression. These results indicate a direct relationship between video game addiction and depression. ● Substance Abuse: It is known that certain individuals play video games while under the influence of drugs and alcohol. However, a study conducted in 2011 found no direct association between substance use disorders and video game addiction. Other studies suggest that dopamine surges like that seen with cocaine use are similar in individuals who play video games. Nevertheless, more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between these co-occurring disorders. Yellow Pond

We love positive reinforcement. It’s hard not to feel accomplished when that deep voice says “Sweet!” after you clear a whole row of candy. 3. It’s a one-hand game. It’s not like a console game that requires all of your attention; it’s easy to hold your phone in one hand and play, and do something else with the other. How convenient! 4. It never ends. The game’s developers are always making new levels, so you’ll probably never actually beat the game. You can always come back for more. 5. It’s technically free, but paying for add-ons is easy. Just a few clicks and that extra life or power-up is yours. 6. Kids love candy. There’s something to be said about the bright colors and animated treats; it taps into our inner child. 7. It’s social. People feel a sense of pride when they finish a hard level. The game allows you to immediately share that with your friends via social media.
- 57. Addiction and theBrain A mobile game habit isn’t as physically dangerous as an addiction as heroin or meth, but your brain acts much the same way when it goes without. (6) ● Addictions target the brain’s reward system and flood it with dopamine. When we play, we feel happy. ● Since playing is now associated with reward, our brains remember this action as something necessary to repeat in the future. ● Over time, a person can produce less and less dopamine with the activity, so the brain craves more time spent with the addiction. ● Because of the lower dopamine levels when not playing, withdrawal symptoms set in, including depression, restlessness, difficulty focusing, mood swings, and nausea.
