Gaming: When Is Too Much Too Much?

Pop Smart 08/30/2018 1919 Comments

Are the hours invested in video games well spent? (123RF, RB)

Preparing for virtual danger is what video gamers do best. But they may not be ready for this real-world health hazard: too much playing time.

The World Health Organization has revised its disease manual. WHO specialists now consider compulsive video game playing a mental health condition. They say classifying “gaming disorder” as a condition will help families and health care workers be more watchful and ready to identify the risks of gaming.

Most experts admit cases of gaming disorder are rare—with no more than 3% of gamers affected. But the conclusion confirms the fears of some parents of avid young gamers.

God graciously gives us all things to enjoy. (1 Timothy 6:17) He even gives cravings! From the beginning, Adam and Eve craved food and beauty and fellowship. (Genesis 2:9, 18) But when cravings—“the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life”—overtake the craving for God, they are wrong. (1 John 2:15-16)

Some people welcome the gaming disorder label. They say identifying addicts quickly is important because compulsive gamers are usually young people—those who often don’t seek help themselves.

Others worry the label may brand too many gamers. “People need to understand this doesn’t mean every child who spends hours in their room playing games is an addict,” says Dr. Joan Harvey of the British Psychological Society.

Dr. Mark Griffiths has researched gaming disorder for 30 years. He says most people play video games for entertainment. “You have these short, obsessive bursts and yes, people are playing a lot,” he says, “But it’s not an addiction.”

Griffiths believes many compulsive gamers probably have other problems—like autism or depression. Those problems feed their playing too much.

The American Psychiatric Association knows gaming is a problem. APA studies show that playing video games triggers something in some people’s brains “in the same . . . way that a drug addict’s brain is affected by a particular substance.” Still, the association believes doctors need more research before calling compulsive gaming a disorder.

What are symptoms of a gaming problem? Here’s a partial list:
—Anger, nervousness, or sorrow when gaming is taken away
—Needing to spend more time gaming
—Failed attempts to quit
—Disinterest in previously enjoyed activities
—Lying about time spent gaming
—Using gaming to feel better
—Risking jobs or friendships because of gaming

The dangers of excess are clear. Too much of a good thing—food, sleep, exercise, or video games—is just that: too much.

The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it. — Proverbs 22:3

Hey everyone(mostly to Logan M.:D) do you think, since we got as many comments as we wanted, that we could stop posting so many lllloooonnnnnggggg, tiring comments? Maybe, if we still want to get more(like 2,000:D), we could have a rule that you have to post at least 5 comments (THAT ACTUALLY SAY SOMETHING!!!) per day. I don't know about you all, but I'm getting tired of having to scroll down all those LONG comments(I'm talking to myself here as well, because I posted a long comment too:D). Sound good to ya'll?

I agree with Alyssa S that we should stop doing the super long comments and shoot for 2,000 but we should also comment more about the article too, because thats what the comments are for. And I don't think that how many comments you do a day matters as long as you using them respectfully.

I'm homeschooled too. We have to get our morning routine done, chores, and school THEN we can have a hour of screentime each day. Saturdays we get a hour and fifteen minutes, and on Sundays only 30 minutes (after church) I also used to have a wii, but we sold it because we never really played on it. And most video games are about death, like fortnite. Whats the rage about that game? Parents are getting their children TUTORS to be better at playing that game. I think people are a little too overwhelmed by the game. I don't exactly LIKE video games, except for MarioCart or the Wii. Minecraft just makes me stressed. You have to save yourself in the night from creatures, build and probably mess up about fifteen billion times (If your me) ;) I would much rather be playing at my neighbors house or playing outside.
Rebekah: I don't have any video games either. Once in a while, I get to play a few games on my moms phone.
Anna C: I think my old wii once in a while flickered. It also turned off right in the middle of a game, but very rarely.
Michael C: That's an excellent idea! Trade money for screen time.
Issac S: Pokemon go never worked for me. It logged me out of my account and I couldn't get back in.
Emma F: Yes, I play after school, chores, and every other day I need to play a small game with one of my little sisters.

PERMALINK ON MON, 09/10/2018 - 15:08 | BY ANSON F
Alot of parents have heard about things like this and they take it the wrong way. Some think that you should never play a video game ever. My oppinion is that yes they can be bad for your health if you use gaming time instead of exersising, but many video games are educational and teach simple life skills such as problem solving. I also think that you shouldnt worry about having this disorder most gamers have a mild version of one of those symptoms listed. Another thing is that i think that parents should be really careful about their children's amount of time. If a little kid is left alone he will not get off a screen unless you make him, so setting limits is a good idea, but some people take it too far like say 15-30 minutes at most. This is all coming from a teenager so ill probably have different views as i get older but does anyone else agree?

Yeah, I agree. I mean, we probably shouldn't be spending our time playing war games (I mean like the realistic ones, I'm fine with like Star Wars Saga:) I do think they teach problem solving and help our reflexes! I think 30 minutes is fine for us though, because we get to do it every day (except Sunday), and we get to watch each other play too. If we each got an hour, it'd be hard trying to find enough time for us all to play some days! (BTW, we get two choices: Play the Wii or watch TV, and we each have our own days that we can pick. We like playing the Wii best though:)

I do play some of the games mentioned above (2K, Fifa, Wii); but I think that there comes a time where it's excessive. Some games are ADDICTIVE, like Fortnite--which I don't play. But I'm homeschooled, so we play video games on Fridays and Saturdays (and sometimes Sundays). But parents should keep an eye on their children's screen time.

I'm homeschooled too. We have to get our morning routine done, chores, and school THEN we can have a hour of screentime each day. Saturdays we get a hour and fifteen minutes, and on Sundays only 30 minutes (after church) I also used to have a wii, but we sold it because we never really played on it. And most video games are about death, like fortnite. Whats the rage about that game? Parents are getting their children TUTORS to be better at playing that game. I think people are a little too overwhelmed by the game. I don't exactly LIKE video games, except for MarioCart or the Wii. Minecraft just makes me stressed. You have to save yourself in the night from creatures, build and probably mess up about fifteen billion times (If your me) ;) I would much rather be playing at my neighbors house or playing outside.
Rebekah: I don't have any video games either. Once in a while, I get to play a few games on my moms phone.
Anna C: I think my old wii once in a while flickered. It also turned off right in the middle of a game, but very rarely.
Michael C: That's an excellent idea! Trade money for screen time.
Issac S: Pokemon go never worked for me. It logged me out of my account and I couldn't get back in.

VIDEO GAME CONSIDERATIONS
PERMALINK ON THU, 09/13/2018 - 10:49 | BY EVAN K
Video gaming is not a bad thing. I totally agree with that considering that I play a lot of video games. They bring entertainment and fun. They can also help for hand eye coordination and other skills. I think that people need to be more careful with how much they are playing. If you are glued to a game, you may not realized the other joys of this world. I also think that people are so competitive playing games that they feel that they have to play just to get respect or for someone to like them more.
