Gaming disorder is now officially recognised as an illness - briefly
(hx) 02:48 PM CEST - May,26 2019 - Post a comment / read (6)
'Gaming disorder' - or an addiction to gaming - is now officially recognised as an illness by the World Health Organisation. The UN body has previously already listed the condition in the eleventh revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11) in January of last year. This week's congregation of the 194 members states at the 72nd World Health Assembly simply serves as the body rubber stamping ICD-11 and officiating the manual, which is set to go into effect starting January 1, 2022. The WHO classifies gaming disorder under its list of addictive behaviours, and defines it as follows:
Gaming disorder is characterized by a pattern of persistent or recurrent gaming behaviour (‘digital gaming’ or ‘video-gaming’), which may be online (i.e., over the internet) or offline, manifested by:

impaired control over gaming (e.g., onset, frequency, intensity, duration, termination, context);

increasing priority given to gaming to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other life interests and daily activities; and

continuation or escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences. The behaviour pattern is of sufficient severity to result in significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning.

Ageing disorder. No joke. Scientist in US discovered that we could age a lot slower using 3 now simple ingredients, soon to be available. That's good and bad news. It's nice that you will look 50 in your 80s and having sex in your 90s, but getting pension when you get to 100 is a bit of a downside.

Lmao at all the above.
