Chris Cantell Discusses Gaming: Ce preferi: dependenta de jocuri sau dependenta de alcool? by Ioana Madalina Tantareanu

Jocurile video pot da dependenta, asa cum au concluzionat doctorii, exact la fel ca drogurile sau alcoolul. Nu te vor omori, dar iti vor distruge viata mai mult decat daca ai sta 18 ore pe zi la birou. Macar daca muncesti, esti platit; jocurile nu-ti dau decat statut social cel mult. Se pare ca RPG-urile online dau cele mai grave dependente, mai ales pentru copiii nepopulari care obtin respect si putere intr-o lume virtuala. Pe masura ce eroul lor devine mai puternic, jocul devine mai incitant, pana la punctul in care jucatorul se gandeste doar la joc. Acest tip de dependenta are simptome la fel ca si celelalte, inclusiv imposibilitatea de a controla necesitatea si refugierea in lumea jocului atunci cand lucrurile reale iau o intorsatura negativa. Tulburarea are sanse mari sa fie inclusa pe lista de boli mintale folosita de psihiatri cand pun diagnosticul unui pacient. Acceptarea ca exista o problema este mereu primul pas spre vindecare si clinici care sa ajute jucatorii au aparut in ultima vreme in SUA si Amsterdam. Si nu numai adolescentii au nevoie de ajutor; au fost descoperiti oameni mai in varsta cu aceasta problema si numarul lor este in crestere si in alte parti ale lumii, cum ar fi Coreea de Sud. Efectele sunt aceleasi: lipsa de interes fata de sotie/sot, fata de activitati sociale, cresterea in greutate si alte probleme legate de implicarea intr-o singura activitate 24 de ore pe zi. Jucatorii inraiti se gandesc cum sa avanseze la urmatorul nivel si cand nu sunt la calculator si nu prea sunt motive sa dam vina pe industria jocurilor. Pana la urma, fiecare joc are un buton de Quit.
