People may have mild, moderate, or severe internet gaming disorder if they struggle to control how often or how long they game.

Video game addiction counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of video game addiction counseling depends on the individual’s needs as well as the extent and severity of their problem and those that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in the first weeks to months of therapy.
Many people are talking about video game addictions because many people are struggling with compulsive gaming. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) labels these behaviors internet gaming disorder and calls for more study on whether they fit the formal definition of addiction.
Whether video games are addictive or not, it is clear that a lot of people experience difficulty controlling their impulses when it comes to gaming. Many people are also seeking help from interventions traditionally associated with addiction. In particular, 12-step programs have been formed for video game users, and mental health practices are accepting clients who struggle with gaming.
The therapists at Thriveworks Littleton understand how video games can take control of a person’s life. They also understand what it takes to regain control and healthy gaming habits. If you think you benefit from talking to a video game addiction counselor, reach out to us today to get started.
Video game addiction or internet gaming disorder occurs when people cannot control when, where, how, and how long they game. It can occur in men, women, boys, and girls, but men and boys experience it at greater rates. Potentially, 10 percent of all gamers ages 8-18 have difficulty regulating their video game play.
According to the DSM-5, internet gaming disorder can be severe, moderate, or mild. The amount of symptoms people display determines the severity modifier for the disorder. Such symptoms include:
Because internet gaming disorder also affects children and teens, parents should look for these additional signs:
The various factors that can lead to compulsive video game use are still being studied, but one theory suggests that the narratives of many games is a significant contributor. Mobile games, massively multi-player online role-playing games (MMORPG), and social networking games frequently utilize core loops or compulsion loops.
These loops establish a system wherein the reward from one challenge naturally ties into the next level of challenge. There is no natural break in the narrative where players can stop, and with every reward, dopamine is released, solidifying the brain’s connection between the game and pleasure.
Many people are regaining control over the video game use and resolving any resulting challenges through counseling.
If you are ready to meet with a mental health professional, Thriveworks Littleton has appointments available for both children and adults who may have internet gaming disorder.
We accept many forms of insurance. Evening and weekend appointments are also available. Finally, new clients can often meet with a provider within the same week as scheduling.
