Video game addiction is a phenomenon that has received increasing attention in recent years. Video games have evolved in complexity and popularity, and along with them, addiction to them has become a problem that affects a significant number of people worldwide. Although video game addiction is not officially recognized as a psychiatric disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) of the American Psychiatric Association, many experts consider it to be a significant problem that requires attention and treatment. The goal of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of video game addiction, including its causes, consequences, and treatment options. In the first sections, we will explore the reasons behind video game addiction, including the need to escape from daily life problems, the pursuit of instant gratification, mental health issues, and lack of social interaction. We will also examine the accessibility and omnipresence of video games, and how these factors can contribute to addiction. In the following sections, we will analyze the physical and psychological consequences of video game addiction, including its impact on personal relationships and academic and work performance. We will discuss assessment tools for detecting video game addiction, as well as cognitive-behavioral and family therapies for treating addiction. Online treatment programs and 8 support groups for those suffering from video game addiction will also be presented. Furthermore, this book addresses the importance of education on the proper use of video games, as well as the promotion of alternative activities and limiting the time spent on them. Finally, the importance of selfregulation and self-control to avoid video game addiction will be discussed. This book is an essential guide for anyone interested in video game addiction, whether for their own education or to help someone who may be dealing with this problem. Experts in the field, mental health professionals, and parents will find valuable and up-todate information in these pages, and we hope that this book serves as an important tool in the fight against video game addiction.

Hello everyone! My name is Adolfo Benjamin Kunjuk, and I want to tell you a little about my career as a writer and the works I have created so far.

One of my most recent books, "From Player to Addict," is about video game addiction and how it affects people's lives. This is a very relevant topic in today's society and I am proud to be able to share my experience and knowledge on the subject.

Another of my works, "The Chosen One," is a science fiction novel that combines adventure and suspense. This story follows a young man who must face extraordinary challenges while trying to fulfill his destiny.

In "BEYOND THE LIKES," I explore the impact of social media on our lives and how this affects our happiness and self-esteem.

"The Art of Being a Non-Parenting Parent: A Guide to Perfecting Absenteeism" is a book for those who have chosen not to have children. In this book, I offer advice and reflections on how to live a full and meaningful life without children.

In "The Maid," I tell the story of a domestic employee who works in a wealthy family's home and the complications that arise from her relationship with the homeowners.

As you can see, my works deal with very varied topics, from video game addiction to science fiction and personal reflection. My goal is to offer interesting stories and deep reflections on relevant topics in today's society.

Thank you for considering my works! I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
