Nowadays, addiction is not a synonym for only drug and alcohol abuse. Addiction has a new and more rampant face and that is – Gaming and Gambling Addiction. Victims of video gaming and gambling addictions are mostly teenagers to young adults - (without, of course mentioning less responsible full-grown adults and physically inactive children as well) most often boys. These toxic habits captivate them by letting them have an environment or “virtual world” which is under their control – literally by the finger tips. According to scientific studies and researches, a video game and gambling addict’s brain produces increased amounts of endorphins, which gives “high feelings” comparable to that experienced by alcoholics and prohibited drug dependents. Victims often forget and disregard important priorities such as personal health, schooling, work and family. Some even results to thievery, assault and other unlawful acts. Similar to people who tries to quit the habit of smoking cigarettes and alcohol dependence, it is widely known and accepted that it is harder to refrain from these harmful vices if the item of addiction is regularly at face value or if your peers are also participating in it.
