Absolutely ridiculous. The entire point of identifying a disorder and defining the mechanisms for diagnosis is so that we can create treatment plans to help people overcome these issues. You don't treat gaming addiction the same way you would heroine, alcohol, or gambling.
- Mirioron 8y agoHeroin and alcohol addiction are physical addictions. They are a completely different matter. Gambling addiction is them same as this, and there is basically no effective treatment available. Just like there won't be one for social media addiction or gaming addiction or reading addiction or sex addiction or masturbation addiction or... I suggest reading up on how addiction treatment for gambling goes. The person still is a problem gambler at the end of treatment and it's considered successful. The entire model for addiction for non-substance abuse addiction seems sketchy.
