The World Health Organization has officially classified video game addiction as a mental health disorder.
The health body said that addiction is severe enough to be included in International Classification of Diseases released Monday. The WHO characterizes two forms of video game addiction: online and offline. It said addiction occurs by putting gaming ahead of “other life interests and daily activities.”
“The pattern of gaming behavior may be continuous or episodic and recurrent,” the classification of diseases said. “The gaming behavior and other features are normally evident over a period of at least 12 months in order for a diagnosis to be assigned.”

But cutting off your dick and saying you’re a woman isn’t.

F64.0 Transsexualism
A desire to live and be accepted as a member of the opposite sex, usually
accompanied by a sense of discomfort with, or inappropriateness of, one's
anatomic sex and a wish to have hormonal treatment and surgery to make
one's body as congruent as possible with the preferred sex.
Diagnostic guidelines
For this diagnosis to be made, the transsexual identity should have been
present persistently for at least 2 years, and must not be a symptom of another
mental disorder, such as schizophrenia, or associated with any intersex,genetic, or sex chromosome abnormality.

Video game “addiction” is a mental disorder but gays and trannies aren’t? Gamers are the most oppressed group in society

I have an extreme addiction to sugary food. I don't like claiming it's similar to alcoholism or drug addiction, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear science one day confirm that it's not much different.
It makes me think addiction is the key issue and it just manifests itself in different areas for different people. I couldn't be an alcoholic because alcohol makes me sick after one drink. Drugs didn't do enough to get me hooked.
But if you look through a list of signs that you're addicted to _________, all of the markers are there for me and sugar.
