Question: How do I stop getting so addicted to technology

First ask yourself the question: are you actually addicted to gaming? Do you feel any of the following are true?

– impaired control over gaming (can’t stop)
– increasing priority given to gaming to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other life-interests and daily activities
– continuation or escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences. The behaviour pattern is of sufficient severity to result in significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning.

If so, then you according to the International Classification of Diseases, you may have Gaming Disorder.

Treatment involves exploring other activities and developing communication with people, but also on learning techniques to managing craving: have a look at this website for more info:
