Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) affects 3 to 10 percent of internet and video gamers - mostly young adults. Although not yet a mental disorder, IGD is characterized by preoccupation with internet gaming; feeling unable to stop gaming, feeling guilty because one can't quit, experiencing neglect of physical health, decreased academic performance and a decline in social and normal recreational pursuits. IGD is treatable, but seek help with an assessment from a counselor you trust. Many online internet help resources are not reliable, and it's better to be followed by a professional who can evaluate and monitor your progress in recovery. Your EAP can assist you in locating a counselor who specializes in IGD.
