What is video game addiction?
While an average gamer plays for 4 – 6 hours a week, you may have a video game addiction if you spend more than six hours per week in gaming. Video games can be a fun pastime activity for players of all ages and offer an opportunity for individuals to relax and connect with friends. However, a mere video game hobby can escalate into compulsive behavior and turn into addiction without you even realizing it.
Besides, video games can cause adults and children to develop unhealthy and obsessive relationships with fictional characters and lead to mental health problems. Video game addiction can stem from other mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc. If you find yourself or your loved one spend too much time in gaming, you must consider professional behavioral addiction treatment to prevent adverse consequences.
Do I have a video game addiction?
If you feel like you or your loved one may have developed an addiction to video games, there are a few ways to verify your doubt. Here are some of the critical signs that warn of the presence of a serious video game problem:
- Becoming more and more isolated from family and friends
- Lying to others about how often you play video games
- Playing video games in secret.
- Becoming upset and irritable when you cannot play video games
- Neglecting work or school to play video games
- Avoiding activities and hobbies that you once enjoyed to play video games
- Skipping meals to focus on gaming
- Not getting enough sleep and feeling lethargic all the time
In extreme cases of gaming addiction, players can experience carpal tunnel syndrome, migraines, and eye strain. Make sure to meet with an addiction specialist if you experience one or more of these symptoms.

Omega Recovery’s Chief Clinical Officer
Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, explains in his book “Glow Kids” how modern-day technology is equally if not more dopaminergic(addictive) than drugs and alcohol. Considered a leading expert in digital addiction, he has clinically worked with 1,000 individuals and written about the subject for Time, Scientific American, Psychology Today, Solan, and FOX News, and has appeared on Good Morning America, ABC’s 20/20, the CBS Evening News, CNN, FOX & Friends, NPR, and in Esquire, New York magazine, and Vanity Fair.
Treatments we Offer
Tech Addiction Treatment
One of the most serious issues with Tech Addiction is the absence of online responsibility. Users are often hiding behind a screen and engage in behavior that they would never do in real life. Omega includes our clinical program as a way to unplug from our devices.
Mental Health Treatment
Omega Recovery works with clients to help them manage their mental health symptoms by providing group and individual therapy, psychiatric consultation and evaluation, community support, and information on how to better manage their illness.
Substance Abuse Treatment
There is a risk of abuse and addiction whenever someone uses drugs or alcohol. Everyone is at risk of developing a substance abuse disorder, regardless of how much they use. Omega Recovery’s extensive diagnostic evaluations are used to determine whether or not addiction recovery should be a necessary treatment plan.
