a complete trust you have to hear all of them and to treat them with something the same respect. more and more young people are addicted to online video games. in a controversial decision last year the world health organization classified it as a disease. it defines gaming this order as quote impaired control over gaming increasing priority given to gaming over other activities and could to ation or escalation of gaming this by negative consequences. of those spreading all over the world and only affects the small number of people who play video games one of the 1st countries dealing with the disorder has been japan

to better understand the symptoms of the disorder we traveled there and met 2 young boys died too and susumu who are spending several hours a day online. 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 who works at the 1st clinic in japan devoted to gaming this order. title kobayashi lives outside talk yo we asked him to describe a typical day in his life. how does that kind of congealed what i did. today as a. group stage did. it for me this is your day to has shown us the smile on you tube. not they take

a listen to this are quite good this is still the letter to the state. mark. martins of all of course you know. that your sons are going to come up. with the water one step no longer tokoyo them up so that the tons of time to. just go. with your step. almost without the need to take this heart a bit harder than most but i hope you will know because i see. so no going to the park with your friends to get pulled over to. do. this you know. good thing we did. try to spare and have been increasingly concerned about their son and decided to

visit the clinic in search of help what in his behavior makes you think that he could be addicted. day to hear that. 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 plenty out in the got people being to go to. one and i don't have post here and i need to take you. through being too she 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 could only describe. as

a look at the ski generates the it being. not i got the money but i missed. out on ideas so do you buy them accordingly the more you hear. it. the. homework. a pretty. good. book. more. could someone mash the thing the. games are a lot of pictures a lot of sounds did you notice that it's affecting his character i see. i didn't know most you do you. want to you know you must have.

seen it. to no more number 100. 30. more talk of this kid or the schmidt one on the can i hear more. than it up to no need of a tongue. the more. a. need to call you know the most when you went to that session did you come out thinking that your son is a game addict. no more. milky did. hear so nonunion will be a more you say through so. much school night the game when he is always sure see type. get out it might do me a not work. put it here here not to come out about his unit.

can i speak with this i could immediately come out of that but we must at this point tell us more about his gaming behavior and respond to his parents concerns. known when he. and the. other is. a player p.v.p. is. a computer speaker who can more tell us cause a bit. more. posting game will only give a bucket to the other thank you well along.

don't you prefer playing outside i mean doesn't you have friends. and it. doesn't work unless you. do so it may not concern you don't. think. it's. you know it's going to or you may. get to be you know so little so. i was. just so. you think you're playing too much one last question do you think you're playing too much. money every little want to know. when do you think about this conversation. here.

nor. could i put. my. you're not going to. the keyboard over. there. he said but i did to this. day to day to. make me think was you know. so that they can take. me if i don't do.

the east force cafe in chief has 2 to 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 several papers reporting the. brain damage caused by you know gaming disorder and meaning the neuronal cells.

were destroyed or damaged. you know in gaming and this is the problem here 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 the you know some of them suffer from you know problems associated with in activity. such as you know the low you know body things and low bone density them and then do not eat regularly just the 11 time when in the day you know because you know they cannot eat they they have to participate in the only games and they cannot find the time to eat something. 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 i try that school a schoolboy in spends. they. please 2 to 3 hours on the computer no more gaming. and that number of hours could go all the way up to 16. on his days off we do 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 the say where the he is addicted to gaming 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 not 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 gaming disorder the patient needs to show at least a 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 the 3rd the 3rd or you know symptom is the you know to continue work includes the gaming be here despite the veto used 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 know maybe some deeper than 70 percent freights you think gaming is the same thing or gaming is actually much more superficial as an addiction nearly 80 percent of. patients with gaming do soda are either junior were senior high school students in the ratio. or boys 2 girls is usually 88 to one or something 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 not only giving this 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 the so good 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 forth but in the case of you know 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 that we need to you know avoid the patient. from. looking at us. she thought it was a cool right i 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. game or so you know you know. junior people around here that the mother needed and you play every day a little bit must listen another coup on a disc you don't mind. my potato up but he seems ok so what would be dished

shortest amount. you play and what would be the longest musical sons of the world who took in more than paul whenever. he's used to conduct our sort of. just sitting of that desk for 20 hours. couldn't they get all monies ecologists that out could you count sons of god so you just moved to go to the bathroom or maybe to get a glass of water. listening and you do anything else do you work do a study do you do anything else you will to us tonight do you think this amount of time you spend gaming is good for you he could do what he. does and i don't want that also known. as you can go most honorable so many teens

in the hood their game where you took this there was as you can that doesn't and that i couldn't manage and i got them when you feel happy. and what exactly do you like about the games. so you need to know that my union i don't. know we did or did i not done that then the calm of the store he shows you steve thomas you not them 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 can know that but you need to. come in you couldn't and i cannot them being 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 or more today. you don't think that all of this could be negative for you. and tonight. on the close of the day to. go home to use it up the. minute 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 like game. in my studio most of the new york you are going to go there so another party to look out. the door then when you see. there was another type of god 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 getting some coming around i go many times that he needs to go also getting there who are those of us 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 told me at the moment that he. wanted to hire good as me took their cut and so game of those you can think i 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 a new script of a pretty give him up we're made out of a v.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. it's not not in the. book so. if i say that topical. not necessary. just looking ahead. do you feel that. you have the power to change things you know how to change things. must. give us the. body. that was common. to most of us who were not it put in this much to

do good in the time. that it was connected but another thing to going to notice your much and how much you got there. so called on to have but it's going to. squash the. you must get.
