Are video games taking over your life - or the life of someone you love?
Video Game Addiction in Young Male Gamers - An Empathetic Guide is a powerful, empathetic, and evidence-based guide that dives deep into one of the most urgent mental health challenges facing young men today. Written with compassion and clarity, this book offers insight, validation, and hope for anyone struggling to regain control over their gaming habits.
Drawing from the latest psychological research, neuroscience, personal testimonies, and global clinical findings, this book reveals:
- What video game addiction really is - and how it’s diagnosed (DSM-5, ICD-11)
- How gaming hijacks dopamine and exploits your brain’s reward systems
- The hidden mental, physical, academic, and emotional tolls of compulsive gaming
- Why young men are especially at risk - and what makes some more vulnerable than others
- Real stories from those who’ve battled addiction and reclaimed their lives
- Proven treatment strategies, including CBT, digital detox, and lifestyle restructuring
- Tools for prevention, parental guidance, and long-term recovery
- A balanced look at the controversy around "gaming disorder" as a medical diagnosis
Whether you're a gamer caught in the cycle, a parent seeking answers, or a therapist working with young clients, this book is your essential roadmap to understanding, healing, and taking back your life from the screen.
Perfect for:
- Men ages 15–30 struggling with compulsive gaming
