Gaming addiction, or gaming disorder, is characterized by an overwhelming and uncontrollable urge to play video games, often at the expense of other important activities. Gaming addiction, also called Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD), involves compulsive gaming behavior that causes harm to personal, social, and academic or work life. Children and youth with gaming addiction may spend excessive amounts of time playing, which can lead to neglect of responsibilities, social relationships, and personal development. Individuals with gaming addiction may spend an inordinate amount of time playing games, sometimes for several hours a day, losing track of time and neglecting important responsibilities such as work, school, or family obligations.
