Question:
Is video game addiction a psychiatric disorder??
I think internet addiction is the same too.

All good points people...I think though that we are becoming too withdrawn from social interaction and definitely exercise...it's hard when you can't tear yourself away from something...I find it's too easy to spend or "waste" time on certain things just because it's easy and comfortable. We need balance.
Answers:
Any kind of addiction is a psychological disorder or disease. Then again, maybe there's just too much outside stress in peoples' lives and that's how they unwind, relax, are 'get away from it all'. It certainly is cheaper than going to the movies, going clubbing, or going on a trip.
