Talk:Lentis/Game Addictions

PROFESSOR NORTON I ACCIDENTALLY DIDN'T LOG IN TODAY (DECEMBER 2) AND WAS WORKING ALL DAY THAT'S THE RANDOM ISBN NUMBER BUT I CUT OUT EXACTLY WHAT I WROTE, LOGGED IN, AND PASTED IT BACK SO IT SHOULD BE UNDER MY NAME NOW. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION.-Ross Magette

Right, so here we go.

There's no actual formal diagnosis of Video Game addiction in current medical or psychological literature. But it's being proposed for the next version of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental disorders.

We first have to define video game addiction: symptoms, causes and whatnot

We should note its dangers, deaths, and talk about the addictive aspects of video games, how prevelent it actually is in society

WE should end it with prevention and treatment. I know that there are some clinics out there that offer treatment programs for video game addiction -For this part, I found an online website called online gamers anonymous. http://www.olganon.org/

Are we doing any kind of game? or just video games?
