- Abstract:
The article discusses why there is no treatment in the U.S. for addiction to video games, which is a mental health disorder. Topics include gaming disorder recognized as a mental illness in June 2018 by the World Health Organization, and the U.S. has yet to embrace any measures, because the American Psychiatric Association refused to distinguish gaming addiction as a unique disorder in 2013, when it published its most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
