Medical Response
Quote From: gokuderaI'm sorry, but that sounded really dumb to me. How is the medical profession going to take care of something like this? Deciding to play a game for unhealthy hours on end is a choice and not the games fault that the person is getting addicted. And even if it was a physcological problem, how could you teach a person to find that balance and keep up with it? What, they're going to start an addicted gamer rehab? I'm sure the people in the medical field agree with me: that's just a stupid idea. There's already a gaming addiction recovery program at a clinic in the Netherlands. We know of several comparable programs in the U.S. It's time for the AMA to enter the same century as the rest of us and recognize this addiction so people get help more easily.
