Signs Your Child Is Addicted to Online Games

The study indicates that electronic game addiction is no longer limited to children and adolescents but now includes individuals of all ages, including those over 30 and 45 years old. Treatment requires an accurate diagnosis that includes playing for more than 6 to 8 hours daily on games or the internet, and the impact of this on social and health aspects of life, with symptoms persisting for at least 12 months. The main symptoms include excessive preoccupation, decline in social activities, lying to hide the consumed time, and treatment involves specialized programs, particularly in cases of withdrawal symptoms that may reach outbursts of anger or suicidal thoughts. The ministry is working on expanding treatment and awareness services to address this emerging issue across all age groups.
