Gaming Disorder

About this book

Between the silent walls of rooms, and behind the never-dimming flicker of screens, a parallel world grows, pulling the threads of reality from under our feet with terrifying calm. We are not talking here about a passing amusement or a way to kill time, but about 'a double-edged sword' that slipped into the finest details of our homes. In this book, Dr. Mohamed Eid opens the doors of research into the phenomenon of 'gaming disorder,' that digital labyrinth transformed from a platform of pleasure into a trap tightening its grip on the minds of children, youth, and even adults. The work takes you on a deep exploratory journey, beginning from understanding the nature of this disorder officially recognized by the World Health Organization as a mental health disease, and passing through a forest of game types, from violent fighting games to role-playing worlds in which the individual loses himself. In a style blending scientific precision and the pain of reality, the book reveals how a button press can open doors to social isolation, violence, and even suicidal tendencies in their extreme.
