When gaming starts to take over your life
When do you have a gaming addiction?
Games are everywhere today. For many people, they are a way to relax, maintain social contacts or escape from stress. For some, however, gaming becomes more than just a hobby.
What starts as relaxation can gradually grow into something that requires more and more time, energy and attention. Work, school, relationships, or sleep can come under pressure, while quitting becomes increasingly difficult. At Affect2U, we don't just look at the gaming itself. We mainly investigate why gaming has come to play such an important role and what lies beneath it.

- school, work or relationships are starting to suffer
