273I have a disease.
The disorder caused by video game addiction, which is known as Gaming Disorder, has been officially recognized as a disease by the World Health Organization. WHO members adopted a revision of the International Classification of Disease at its general assembly in Geneva on Saturday. They added Gaming Disorder to the list of clinically significant syndromes that could result in severe impairment in personal life.

Gaming disorder is defined in the 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) as a pattern of gaming behavior (“digital-gaming” or “video-gaming”) characterized by impaired control over gaming, increasing priority given to gaming over other activities to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other interests and daily activities, and continuation or escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences.
For gaming disorder to be diagnosed, the behaviour pattern must be of sufficient severity to result in significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning and would normally have been evident for at least 12 months.
