Are you concerned that your video gaming -- or your loved one's video game playing -- could be problematic? The World Health Organization has recognized video game addiction as a health condition, hoping to prompt mental health organizations to encourage treatment.

Many people who have ADHD tend to over use video games. But when does over use become a problem?

Read " Video Gaming Disorder Recognized by WHO" at bit.ly/nrcWHOgaming . What do you think about this designation?
