Gaming the System

In this episode we welcome special guest Dr. Huu Kim Lee, an Australian Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist who's on the front lines of the debate about whether "video game addiction" should be an officially recognized disorder. We have a candid conversation surrounding that debate, including what the current obstacles are to being officially recognized, what some of the "myths" about video game addiction are, especially in the academic and scientific community, and we also share insights into what we've both learned working with video game addicts to help them live a great life. If you like the episode, please "like it", subscribe to get the next episode (every Thursday), and leave a comment.
