Hello,

Yesterday morning, fresh off the heels of his attendance at the Royal Wedding, Ben Mulroney interviewed me about the inclusion of video game disorder into the ICD-11. Have a look:

What do you think? Should it be classified as a disease?

Great interview, Lisa! Lots of important information.

Here's a brief article that highlights some of the negative consequences from the perspective of people with lived experience. This article also highlights the website/resource "Game Quitters".
