The World Health Organization identifies games as mental health problems. Can have severe symptoms like drug addiction, cocaine or gambling.

Director of Mental Health The World Health Organization (WHO) has been consulted by experts from around the world. And have all the evidence and information available. It has been decided that the game is a disorder of drug or addictive behavior. This is a major revision of the nearly 30-year classification in the International Diagnostic and Statistical Classification Manual.

The main symptoms are: Have a defect in self control. Is not able to stop playing games. And focus on the game and ignore everything around. This includes not sleeping and not eating. In some cases, the severity of the symptoms is that they can not be separated from the game until they leave the school. And friends do not play games. Most people with this problem are youth. Especially teenagers However, these symptoms should appear for at least 1 year before being diagnosed as a health risk.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that around 2,500 million people play games worldwide, representing one third of the world's population. But people who are involved in mental health is still a small number.

While the BBC reported that 500 gamers had previously been surveyed by ESET (ESET) security firm ESET, 10% of gamers agreed to spend 10- 24 hours screen There are no obvious mental health consequences.

Earlier this year, Oxford University published a study in the American Psychiatric Journal, finding that only a few percent of men and women in Europe and America play games. The results of this survey include overwhelming anxiety There are anti-social behaviors and symptoms of "burns" similar to those who do not drink alcohol as well.
