What are the signs of video game addiction?

Signs of video game addiction include an inability to cut back on gaming despite attempts, and prioritizing gaming over other important activities.

Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home due to excessive gaming is a key indicator of addiction.

Withdrawal symptoms, such as irritability or anxiety, when not gaming, suggest a potential addiction.

Social withdrawal and loss of interest in other hobbies or relationships can signal gaming addiction.

Persistent preoccupation with gaming and fantasies about future gaming experiences may also be indicative of addiction.
