It is not a psychiatric disorder it is the same thing as saying alcoholics have a disorder too. You cant just label something a disorder when a few people don't have any control.

"The report says that up to 90% of American children play videogames and as many as 15% of them -- more than 5 million kids -- may be addicted."

15% is not exactly a convincing number and also there children. The youth is easier to influence I would understand if 90% of all adults were gaming addicts then that would be something but children? People are blaming video games for completely different problems. If the kid is addicted could he possibly have an addictive personality? No no noway! He has to have a psychiatric disorder let's blame the thing he is addicted too!

I play video games but I'm not addicted I hang out with my friends,go out,spend time with my loved ones. It is not something addictive the problem lies within the person themselves.
