I can hear the laughter coming from my health insurer at the notion of covering anyone for some sort of gaming illness lol
Gaming can be symptomatic of underlying issues and can certainly exacerbate them as well, but it's absurd to give it it's own designation. Shall we also declare the chess grandmaster who play dozens of matches a week or obsessive athletes practicing their craft mentally ill? It's merely obsession, regardless of what that obsession is, that can cause problems.
This strikes me as another instance of a misunderstood subculture being labeled by outsiders.
