Video Game Addiction: Recognizing the Signs

The DSM-5 gives the following diagnostics for internet gaming disorder. Many overlap with signs for other addictions:

  • Tolerance: Playing video games more often and for longer periods of time in order to feel the same amount of satisfaction.
  • Obsession: Being preoccupied with gaming, even when not playing.
  • Avoidance: Using video games as an escape from real difficulties and challenges.
  • Withdrawal: Experiencing irritability, moodiness, depression, or restlessness when trying to quit gaming.
  • Skewed priorities: Choosing videos games over time with family and friends, or over career and educational opportunities.
  • Deceit: Lying to loved ones about gaming.
  • Escape: Alleviating challenging emotions (guilt, shame, sadness, loneliness, anxiety, boredom, depression, et cetera) by playing video games.

Compulsive Gaming’s Potential Negative Effects

Any impulse control disorder or addiction has the potential for devastating effects within a person’s life, and internet gaming disorder is no different. Those who struggle with video game addiction may experience negative relational, physical, and emotional effects.

  • Relational: As people form attachments to video games, their real-world relationships may suffer. In particular, lying about video game use can wound loved ones, as can irresponsible spending on equipment and monthly fees.
  • Physical: Indirectly, obsession with gaming often leads to neglect of one’s body, resulting in poor eating habits, lost sleep, and neglected hygiene. Directly, too much gaming can cause Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, dry eyes, headaches, and back pain.
  • Emotional: Using video games to avoid emotional problems often means those issues grow.

Next month will make one full year of seeing Andrea on a twice-weekly or weekly basis. Our values and styles align pretty ideally, and I have accomplished one year of sobriety through many ups and downs, including health scares and personal struggles. Based on some of our conversations, she suggested the idea of seeing a couples' therapist with my spouse to strengthen our intimacy, so we choose to meet with Saffron (Thriveworks), whom we also really like and appreciate, and has been very helpful to us as a couple as well! I did see one provider, Rebekah, with whom I had a dreadful experience, both in emotional terms and in terms of incredibly poor professionalism...really unfortunate for an organization (Thriveworks) of whom I otherwise extol praise. I have recommended the platform to several friends who have also had very positive experiences, and overall can't say enough hear things about the positive impact that my therapeutic experience has had on me and my loved ones. I'm so grateful to Andrea for her dedication and support, and to Thriveworks for the platform. Thank you!

I truly appreciated the care, professionalism, and positive energy throughout my experience. Everything felt intentional and thoughtfully designed, which made the process smooth and welcoming. I especially valued the way communication was handled—clear, timely, and rooted in kindness. If there’s ever an opportunity for future enhancement, perhaps continuing to create even more moments of personal connection would make the experience shine even brighter. But overall, I’m grateful and impressed. Thank you for the dedication you bring to what you do; it truly makes a difference.

Ease of use of the platform, and I enjoyed working with my therapist! I wish insurances were better because my mental health payment was very expensive before I reached my deductible.

★★★★★
I have had an extraordinary experience using Thriveworks. I use the platform for both Individual Counseling and Couples Counseling. My Individual Therapist has revolutionized my ability to cope day to day as well as broach larger big picture issues. It's drastically improved my quality of life. She has and continues to help me move forward toward my personal goals. Our Couples Counselor has helped facilitate clear and living communication between my side and I and has and continues to help us reach our goals and explore and set new ones to improve the quality of our relationship and our day to day lives. I can't say enough good things about them both, and I have and do recommend Thriveworks to anyone who will listen! I'm so grateful for the quality of the counseling, the convenience of the platform, and the support provided.

Having therapy at your fingertips is a blessing especially when the experts at Thriveworks are so phenomenal. My 11year old and I see the same person who somehow can relate to both of us. I feel renewed and seen in each meeting, my counselor Lakeisha uses several tools and techniques to help me that are easy to implement in daily practice that I also recommend to my friends and family.
