Yes, it is possible to be addicted to playing video games. Video gaming can become an obsessive and compulsive behavior that takes up so much of your time and energy that you cannot function normally in other areas of your life. This can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, depression, restlessness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating and sleeping, and social isolation. If these symptoms persist or worsen, it may be an indication that you have a problem with gaming addiction.
