Video Game Addiction Compared To Drug Addiction


Video game addiction has many of the same symptoms as those of 'traditional' addictions such as to drink or drugs, it mainly involves the huge amount of time the player spends with the game,not keeping up with professional or educational obligations and choosing to spend time within the games rather than to spend time with family and friends.

I created a chart from various sources of the different symptoms of video game addiction and drug addiction.Many of them share the same traits,mainly directly but others are slightly different for example the 'Possession of drug paraphernalia' could be seen the same as constantly buying parts and mircro transactions for your game. Feeding your addiction in little parts. 


As with other addictions , as they take a further hold , they begin to start lying about their habits,such as game time and other factors, soon they begin to start dropping out of hobbies and other activities.
