A Dutch clinic
that has begun offering the world's first treatment for computer game
addicts has been overwhelmed with pleas for help from parents and
children all over the world.
"It's amazing, I've never seen
anything like it," said Keith Bakker, the American director of
the clinic in Amsterdam. "The phone has been ringing constantly.
Computer game addiction is obviously an even greater problem than we
imagined."
The clinic will begin treating two teenagers from
Britain this week and other sufferers are being signed in from
America and Asia.
"These are perfectly decent kids whose
lives have been taken over by an addiction," said Bakker, a
former drug addict.
"Some have given up school so they can
play games. They have no friends. They don't speak to their
parents."
Last week Bakker took his first group of "gamers",
as he calls them, on a parachuting trip to take their minds off their
computers. Treatment also involves meditation, fitness training and
group therapy.
Although experts are still debating whether
excessive game playing counts as an addiction, Bakker has no doubt
that the symptoms are the same.
"It's not a chemical
dependency, but it's got everything of an obsessive compulsive
disorder and all of the other stuff that comes with chemical
dependency."
Tim, a 21-year-old from Utrecht, said he had
hardly left his bedroom for five years because he was so obsessed by
his computer games. "My room was a mess," he said.
"Curtains drawn, pizza boxes, empty bottles and junk food
wrappers everywhere."
His parents were frightened of him
because, weighing more than 21 stone(1),
he was too strong for them to confront. Eventually they threatened to
kick him out unless he enrolled for a month of therapy.
Bakker
said he had been hearing horror stories from parents about their
children's addiction to computer games. One couple brought a
six-year-old to the clinic, hoping the boy could be treated.
"All
we could do was have a chat with him," said Bakker. "He
used to be a perfectly healthy kid but they gave him a Nintendo and
he changed. He doesn't talk to his friends any more."
Many
adolescent addicts have stopped maturing because of their addiction,
claims Bakker. "I've met 19-year-olds with the emotional
intelligence of 10-year-olds," he said, "because when they
were 10 a parent said `Here, have this Game Boy,' and they haven't
stopped playing ever since."
South Korea and China, where
people are particularly passionate about computer games, are
discussing with manufacturers ways of discouraging compulsive
behaviour.
Bakker thinks that European and American distributors
should issue warnings about the dangers.
