According to new reports, people who spend unreasonable hours playing video games could soon be diagnosed with a mental health disorder!
The World Health Organization (WHO) has released a statment that it will add gaming disorder to its international classification of diseases next year, which means, doctors can now diagnose someone with the condition of having mental illness if they play video games excessively.
According to the WHO, the problem comes when gaming takes priority over other life interests and activities.
The behavior must persist for at least one year to be diagnosed, however, that time can be shortened in severe cases.
