Excuse My Tardiness
So apparently I am really behind the times here. I posted something this morning about the AMA wanting to classify video game addiction as a mental disorder. Well, I guess I was a bit late on that, as I've seen multiple things today that tell me the AMA has backtracked and said that they don't believe this should be labeled as an addiction. According to one Dr. Stuart Gitlow of Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, "There is nothing here to suggest that this is a complex physiological disease state akin to alcoholism or other substance abuse disorders, and it doesn't get to have the word addiction attached to it." So, uh, my bad. I don't take back what I said, though. Bad parenting and lack of self-control lead to spending too much time playing games. That's all there is to it.
