A Washington-based clinic now solely treats videogame addiction.<\/p>\n

Dr. Hilarie Cash had recognized a growing problem of “information junkies” and was determined to do something about it.<\/p>\n

“As a Seattle-area general practitioner, in the ’90s she began seeing patients come in with issues she knew nothing about: addictions stemming from the internet, from computers, from video games,” reports Polygon<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Cash is one of three founders of the reSTART Center for Technology Sustainability, a center focused on treating young adults suffering from various types of internet and gaming addiction.”<\/p>\n

The majority patients at reSTART are between 18 and 28, male, and often admitted by worried family members.<\/p>\n
