Apperently a big issue with "gamers", which should not be confused with game addiction, is that kids use it to sooth their mental problems. If you have ADHD it's a effective way of getting something to do all the time with short bursts of dopamine. If you have social problems you can hide behind a screen with something you are familiar with.If you feel really unwell, like dealing with thr death of a relative, it's easy to play longer. To find out how healthy the relationship with gaming is, other factors are used instead, like do the person shower, eat and don't start the day by playing instantly? There are currently science being done on this right now, I should find this. Some kids are more prone to "get stuck" also, opening the door to an investigation into autism/asberger. In the end kids kinda find their own way and go out and play and get bored behind a screen. Alcohol addiction and video game addiction does not work in the same way.
