1821 장혜원 I agree with you that game addiction should be classified as a disease. As you said, game addiction can lead to a lack of physical and sleep activities, and it also carries many health problems. Lack of sleep, for example, can cloud mental judgment and lack of physical activity can contribute to weakening our immune system. In addition, game addiction is known to worsen mental illnesses such as depression. Being addicted to games can lead to social problems as it disables addicted people to distinguish between reality and the virtual world. These example could be found on the cases of neglection of new born, dangerous behaviors, and so on. Game addiction should be classified as a disease because it is hard to cure by one's own will alone. Methods to treat game addiction need to be developed and game addicts also need to realize the seriousness of their illness. I believe this will be carried out by classifying game addiction as a disease and argue that game addiction should be classified as a disease.
