Prevalence of Game Addiction
Young brains are those which suffer the effects of digital technology at most and which are the most sensitive to these effects at the
same time [17]. All individuals who do and do not make normal progress can be sensitive to game addiction but its prevalence in male
adolescents is more common. Separately, computer games are the most popular way of entertainment among 12-25 year old males [18].
The prevalence of internet gaming disorder is unclear due to the varying questionnaires, criteria and thresholds employed. The point
prevalence in adolescents (ages 15-19 years) was 8.4% for males and 4.5% for females [16].
