Who is facing video game addiction?
Video game addiction affects children, teens and adults, but is more prevalent among people assigned male at birth. The statistics are alarming: up to 10% of U.S. adults may be addicted. Among children under the age of 18, as many as 8.5% may be battling gaming addiction.
The exact cause is not fully understood, but research suggests that playing and winning video games releases dopamine — a neurological chemical that influences pleasure and motivation. This dopamine release may reinforce compulsive gaming behavior.
What are the symptoms of video game addiction?

- Drop in grades or work performance
- Thoughts or attempts of suicide
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- “Gamer’s thumb”
- Seizure
How is gaming addiction treated?
