Do You Know The Warning signs of gaming addiction?

[VirtuaViking]

Let me tell you, gaming addiction is real and it's a big concern. Some of warning signs that come to my mind are spending increasing amounts of time playing games, neglecting yourresponsibilities and relationships and feeling so anxious when unable to play. What's your contribution?

Games can actually be a coping mechanism but it becomes a red flag when they become the escape route to stress or when you're feeling a strong urge or craving to play.

When you sacrifice sleep, meals, or self-care, for games, that's when it becomes an addiction.

When you drop everything and keep dropping everything to keep on gaming.

What is the solution? If you are gaming 7 hours a day then you should be gaming for 5 hours then 3 hours then 1 hour.

Gaming becomes an addiction when someone spends most of their day playing games instead of regularly going to school, work, cooking, sleeping, taking care of your family, doing housework, and performing other duties.
