Addiction is often a sign of poor coping abilities to deal with daily life stress or traumatic events. As such,
addiction to gaming should not be considered in isolation because research has shown that there is
significant comorbidity between addictions, and that people are usually addicted to more than one activity
or substance (Greenberg et al., 1999). Addiction to video games may just be another symptom of deeper
and more complex issues, rather than a cause of addiction problems, that individuals need to deal with
(Wood, 2008).
