Video Game Addiction Psychology with Sandy
Are you addicted to video games?
Recently the American Medical Association petitions the American Psychiatric Association to include video game addiction as an official mental illness listed to be listed in the DSM-V. The reason they give for this is they want video game addiction to qualify as a medical illness for insurance money for treatment.

I saw this coming, me and my friend talk about it all the time. Still this is the most ridiculous thing I heard all day. I must be a VG addict cause I spent the whole day playing diablo 2.
In terms of inate intelligence, the nuts and bolts, you certainly have enough in reserve. However, your insight into the human condition, and your insistence on your version of the truth vis a vis human behavior, is most lacking and simplistic. Still, I am sure that your regard for the "science" will be most rewarding for your pigeonholing mindset.
Video Games have actually been proven to increase brain activity, Problem solving, encourage creativity, and just be fun as hell. It helps people think faster and believe it or not, helps to develop sharper reflexes. So I agree that classifying it as a "mental illness" is just a way to pump out more drugs to rake in more money.
This vid would be more interesting if you had more emotion. You remind me of an emotionless AVGN. I agree with you though, classifying that as a mental disorder just shows how fucked up the world has become. Also you're hot.

How about... eating too many pringles? ILLNESS.
Or...going to town and speaking to friends for 20 hours a day, every day? ILLNESS.
Or...Reading book after book for enjoyment? ILLNESS.
Yanks gone too far again.
