traveled there and met 2 young boys and susumu who are spending several hours a day online with us we also met with titus parents to see how his behavior is affecting his family. but is there a way to treat this is easy we asked dr susumu he gucci who works at the 1st clinic in japan devoted to gaming disorder. title kobayashi lives outside talk you we asked him to describe a typical day in his life. how does that kind of congealed what i did. today as a. form of course they did. it for me this is you. know has shown on the sign on you tube or. not they take this and this is quite

this this is still the letter to the state is marked. genuine or you know covered it. sounds it doesn't come up. with the better one step no longer took your game up so that 100 that i. just thought. it would be a step. almost without the limits of the day this month a bit shorter than most in atlanta. you know because i see. so you know going to the park with your friends to get pulled the mother to. do. this you know. getting ready to go home. tired just parents have been increasingly concerned about their son and decided to

visit a clinic in search of help what in his behavior makes you think that he could be addicted. day to hear that. he. needs a. date. they. want kids i mean did you get on the way to paying the snow day for the night. when you do know don't most of the pain you know from the got to be to go to. one another we had pushed here and then either because of. being too sneaky missed ok when you say his priorities change before starting to game now what did he was he more friendly did he like to go out what changed exactly.

mup couldn't with this. look at the ski generates the being. not able to minute by minute by minute car and ideas so do you buy them accordingly the more you hear. it. the. homework. a pretty. good. book see. more. the thing the. games are a lot of pictures a lot of sounds did you notice that it's affecting his character. i think you know most you do you. want to you know not must have.

seen it. you know more number 100. 30. more talk of this kid or the schmidt one under a bit more duke took him. up on it. for no need of a tongue full of anger that the more you saw. a. need to call you know us when you went to that session did you come out thinking that your son is a game addict. no more. milky did. you hear me now you will be a more you say so going to. school night the game when you eat or should see type. and they are not. right no more. milky did.

here and then you will be a more you say so get on with my school night the game when he is always sure see. get out it might. work. out about his unit. i could immediately come out of that but we must. at this point to tell us more about his gaming behavior and respond to his parents' concerns. known to you. and for the. people. you see. if. a

computer can more cause a bit. more. to do. thank you well. don't you prefer playing outside i mean doesn't he have friends since. he gets through it and do so at that and they continue to. talk. so. it's. you know it's going to show you in this. case going to get them to be you know so little so. i was. just

so. do you think you're playing too much one last question do you think you're playing too much. money every little want to know in a different. they were do you think about this conversation. but nor. could i. go to the. are you most proud of it it's. my. you're not going to eat it you need. to keep. the. n.e.a. separate out of the. day to. day so you're making. the was. for the can i go.

on to me if i don't do. e-sports cafe in has to do 300 visitors a day on weekends even more come here to play. an average day say 3 hours but some are here for 24 hours. so sue me gucci is a doctor degree how much addiction center the 1st clinic of its kind in japan. he tells us about some of the problems he has seen firsthand among young people addicted to video games the 1st thing i have to point out is the brain damage

the in the past you know there are at least several papers reporting the. brain damage caused by you know gaming disorder and meaning the neuronal cells. were destroyed or damaged. you know gaming and this is the probably most important the significant findings but at the same time you know they are usually isolated from the soft side the in the stay at home for a long time and because of that some of them suffer from you know problems associated with in activities. such as you know the low you know body things and low bone density. then you do not eat regularly just 11 time in the day you know because you know they cannot

eat they get they have to participate in the online games and they cannot find the time to eat something you know and the because of that you know the they sometime with lose their weight and suffer from malnutrition and so those kind of things if that's cool school boy spends. they. clearly these 2 to 3 hours computer no more gaming. and that number of hours could go all the way up to 60. on his days off we'd you consider that child an addict this is called tolerance you know when we start to play games you know they are satisfied with playing only 2 of us but in the course of time you know they cannot be satisfied with just you know play

for 2 hours or so then they have to increase the number of games. and this is part of the this is the part of the cyst symptoms which is typical of addiction we cannot in a say whether he is addicted to gaming or not by just looking at number was. games would you say that it is a source of concern and needs to be monitored because if at 12 years old. he or she prefers to stay at home no go out and have very little social life and play that it could develop into something much more severe in a few years or do you think it's just maybe. that age when you turn from child to pre-birth t. and you know every boy or girl or trouble that if we

diagnose you make diagnosis of a game we disorder the patient needs to show at least pretty fundamental or or can't characteristic symptoms you know one is loss of control i think you know if we play 16 hours you know you may say you may think that he loses you know control over gaming and the 2nd these the gaming is prioritize prioritize in life of course you know if you ask him what is the most important thing for you in your life he he will respond to you gaming gaming 1st and then this 3rd the 3rd or you know symptom is you know to continue in cleese the gaming be here despite the veto by the problem he has there's another credit which is.

because of gaming he suffers from severe functional impairment in school. and in the family and life so you've met many of such patients. behind that is there a deeper issue i mean sometimes from what i understand when you speak to drug addicts or alcoholics it is a way to to now maybe some deeper and deeper separates do you think gaming is the same thing or gaming is actually much more superficial as an addiction merely hooty creepy percent of. patients beginning to sort of are either junior were senior high school students in the ratio. or boys 2 girls is usually 88 to one or something and so they have

a little limited experience you know in life so they usually do not have the deeper you know background you know why they become you know addicted to gaming and then when we see a patient with gaming a disorder home or wait with other mental disorders such as a d h d and asparagus in the room we need to take care of not only giving abuse of the but also you know other mental health disorders what is the success rate to get someone out of this addiction and how long is that process very good question. we have not conducted you know outcome study. so again or tell me any i could at the you know estimation but. when we see a patient with a gaming disorder we strongly recommend him or her to give up

play games anymore if they agree to do that the usually their outcome is quite good but if they do not want to stop gaming completely and they want if they want to reduce the amount of hours and games the outcome is in this a good thing if it isn't typically the problem of addiction whether it's alcohol drugs or now gaming is that you tell a person you need to stop and he's mentally maybe they know but they're not able to isn't that one of the core issues yes that's right but in the case of gambling or in the case of our core dependency the majority of patients are told they can't understand the situation they are put in and they need they can understand why they have to stop drinking and stopping the gambling in the so force but in the case of

. schoolboy girls they cannot understand that if we push too much they were drop out from a treatment so this is the very big issue for us. and. we we have to think about the balance between you know how how do we push at the same time we need to. avoid the patient. from. looking at us. she tried to secularize started gaming when he was in kindergarten he has effectively played his entire life and he sometimes can't find time to do anything else then membered your normal day how does it look like. you are there so.

it's a good possible people still game a lot so you know if you know. junior people around here who the mother needed and you play every day a little bit must listen another coup on a disc you don't mind. but if they do uppity seems ok so what would be dished shortest amount. you play and what would be the longest musical sons of the world who took you more than paul whenever. he's used to conduct are so the greatest just sitting of that desk for 20 hours. they get all monies you can't address that out because you can't signs your god so you just move to go to the bathroom or maybe to get a glass of water mussel isn't there and you do anything else do you work do a study do you do anything else. she will toss in itis do you think this amount of

time you spend gaming is good for you equal to what he did so the odds are wounded and i don't want also known. as you can go so many teens in the hood their game where you took this there was as you can that was another you couldn't manage and i cannot them when you feel happy. and what exactly do you like about the games. so guys you need to get my union i don't. know we did or did i not done that then the calm of the storm he shows you steve honestly not down with us do you think that because of all this time you spend gaming you are missing out on other things in life. so you don't think that sometimes instead of playing you should be out with your

friends being in the fresh air you should maybe be travelling you prefer to stay here and. most of this meeting of us kunal the party you need to. come in you couldn't and i cannot them to go in there and what did your parents say . about it and your girlfriend well you all between them with that she doesn't prefer to go out with you she likes to wait for you here while you're playing. think you are more so no game way at the end of statistics medically doctors say that people who play as much as you do are somehow addicted do you feel that you are addicted. so almost that you don't think that all of this could be negative for you. and tonight you can it's capable. of closing the data. set

up the. game that you studies to. know that i don't play if you were to tell me. or tried to convince me to start gaming this scribe to me was it is. difficult to buy a business buddies and give. my studio or most of the new york you're going to go there so another party to look out. the door then when you see. there was another article. in the game and i got there and i got so as you steal a book or scuse me when i spend 3 hours in front of a computer my eyes hurt my head is like this flashing you don't get that.

it's what's getting so i'm coming around i go many times that he needs to go that's also dead in there what are you if you were to give advice to someone young who also loves gaming what would you say game i play so boxing. i mean i don't know. but being cuticle is a county so the moon isn't that the book as he says where there tomorrow it will. all stand there so no more for what he did there being your being killed came a game when he stole them out on a lonely life. most of the higher good has made took their cut and so game of those you can think you need this but the challenges they're facing writers parents are hopeful they will be able to work with their son to make sure he can live a normal life needed to give you a myth. because. every

bullet in the corner being to go through it again with sort of being described of the body give him up we're made out of a.b.c. and you were telling me earlier that you were concerned that he was changing a bit he was maybe slightly more aggressive. in. his own. kind. but. you're also going to give me a mass i wanted to hold into and i hope i'm. not in the. book so. if i say that topical. not going to say that. he. was just looking ahead what do you feel that. you have the power to change things you know how to change things.

must. pass. but he. was going. to demote all of us who knows it couldn't hurt this much. because a lot of those connected but you never to the point of this will do much in the home of their so called on to have but it's one of the must cut. squash or call it the. you must get them.
