1821 장혜원) I agree with you that game addiction is hard to be cured by addicts themselves. Game addiction needs professional help and medics, and I belive that classifying game addiction as disease will give a hand to treating game addiction properly. As game addiction causes violent behaviors as well as mental disorders, it is not something that can be ignored. If game addction is classified as disease, it will show game addicts the seriousness of their conditions and encourage them to get treated by professionals. Also, as you've mentioned, game addiction could hurt people around the addicted person. So, for the sake of those innocent people, game addiction should be taken as a serious social problem as well.

1223 장호승 I agree with you that game addiction affects people's physical health. Game addiction hurts not only the sleep deprivation and irregular living that you mentioned, but also the health of your eyes and neck. The definition of disease is an illness which affects people, animals, or plants, for example one which is caused by bacteria or infection. Although game addiction isn't caused by bacteria or infection, I think there is nothing wrong with classifying game addiction as a disease because it has lots of negative effects on human life as bacteria or infection do.

1826 현유빈 I admit to a certain extent that game addiction can have an adverse effect on physical health. But I think it is difficult to classify game addiction as a disease, which is already enjoyed by too many people as a leisure culture. By what standards would you distinguish between those who enjoy games lightly as a hobby and those who are really addicted? Rather, I think the ambiguity that will arise in these areas will lead to more confusion, which will not lead to systematic policymaking and professional management. What do you think about this?
