NHS announces UK’s first clinic for gaming disorder prefix="o" ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" ?xml:namespace> 1. Britian’s NHS will open the country’s first dedicated clinic to treat children and young adults who are seriously hooked on computer game. 2. The move comes after the World Health Organization included Video Game Disorder in its official index of deseases. Now that ‘gaming disorder’ is defined as a recognised mental health problem, GPs in the UK will be able to refer sufferers to the new specialist clinic. 3. Many have welcomed the project, amid growing concerns about the extreme use of video games and the clear links to severe mental health problems and highly dysfunctional lifestyles. 4. The plan has also been met with criticism, with some eperts claiming that the NHS and taxpayer should not be expected to pick up the pieces of this problem. Gaming companies have a responsibility to their users and should do more to prevent obsessive or harmful behavior, instead of promoting it. Online gaming firms make millions of pounds in profit. They should be shouldering the financial cost of treating gaming addiction.
