Merging with Video Game Addiction

I believe these two pages sohuld be merged because, well, they are about the same thing. I suggest the contents of the video Game Addiction page be merged into this page because that's the official name according to ICD/WHO. But another opportunity is to merge the contents of this page into the Video Game Addiction page, possibly as a paragraph (which can discuss the ICD inclusion, the ICD criteria for dianosing and the surrounding controversy "Gaming Disorder".

Comment: Another argument in favour of merging with this page is that this page is extremly small for a page about the official name of this disease. Thereas most of the info is for some reason locatated on the page Video Game Addiction which I can hardly distinguish from this page in terms of the topic.

I agree they should be merged - I actually thought the same thing before seeing that you already made the suggestion. Jmertel23 (talk) 12:31, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support With the ICD 11 it is now an officially recognized disorder under gaming disorder. Agree with the merge proposal. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:40, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
