Who would’ve thought that the Netherlands of all places would be opening a clinic to help treat video game addiction? Under the auspices of Smith & Jones Addiction Consultants in Amsterdam, addicted gamers can sign up for the program where they try to kick the habit of gold farming, going on epic raids and beating just one more level.
The director of the clinic said that video game addiction is just like any other kind of addiction and that similar patterns of behavior can be found between alcoholics and video game addicts.
The moral of the story? Don’t stay inside all day playing Xbox 360. It’ll rot your brain.
