Not wanting to go to school so that they can game.Not seeing friends as often, or doing other things they used to enjoy doing, as all their time is spent gaming/ online.Not wanting to pay attention to things such as personal hygiene (eg, washing) or eating.Tiredness, headaches or hand pain from too much screen time, and use of controllers.Under reporting, or lying about how much time they’ve spent playing, or playing in secret (such as in the middle of the night).Feeling irritable and restless (fidgety) when not playing.Constantly thinking about, or wanting to play the game.What it might look like, or feel like, if someone is struggling with problematic gaming: It is possible to be at risk of, or develop, an addiction to gaming in a similar way to those who are at risk of, or addicted, to substances (such as drugs or alcohol). For others, this love of gaming can tip into being unhelpful, and impact on their life in a damaging way. For lots of people this is ok, and they are able to have other hobbies and interests, see friends, and still get on with their everyday lives. Lots of people like to play video or online games and can spend many hours gaming.
