In both my own and my mothers opinions, my little brother (at 10 years old) spends an unhealthily large amount of time gaming. Case in point - two minutes ago, he asked me if he could play a few matches of Fortnite on my PS4. I said no, but lo and behold, a minute later he has turned on my PS4 and started a match. Excessive gaming (both my own and my little brother's) has been the source of a tremendous amount of conflict in my family. The fact that a diagnosis can be misused is not a good argument against said diagnosis' existence.
If it weren't for us imposing restrictions on how much time he gets to spend gaming, he probably would barely do anything else, and I know for a fact that is basically the case for many of his friends that don't have as many restrictions on gaming.
