I would never have believed it was possible, until I saw it with my own eyes in my own house. My son became addicted to the World of Warcraft. He exhibited not just 3 of the criteria for substance dependence listed in the DSM-IV, but all 7 of them, if you substitute the word "game" for the word "substance". He had tolerance, withdrawal (which most closely resembled cocaine or amphetamine withdrawal), repeated efforts to cut down or control use, went to great lengths to access the game in spite of negative social (lost all his friends), health (lost 10 lbs he could ill afford to lose), and educational (flunked out of college) consequences, gave up ALL social and recreational activities, and continued to play while his world basically crubled around him. This is REAL, affects about 10% of gamers, and is the most frightening thing I have seen to date. I am a family physician. I know addiction when I see it.
