Video game addiction is a term that should be used with care. When video gaming disrupts multiple areas of a gamer’s life, it may more properly be called a disorder or addiction. Although only a small percentage of video gamers experience addiction, in terms of total numbers it is significant.

Video Game Addiction addresses the question of clinical addiction as well as other topics; including the nature of video gaming, the treatment and recovery from video game addiction, and some beneficial effects of video gaming. The book can be obtained from Mercury Learning and Information.
