Lacking a distinct behavioral definition for video game addiction, therapists and other mental health professionals, along with parents, spouses and friends, have sought to link the behaviors to substance abuse and pathological gambling. To that end, the web features numerous self-tests or bulleted lists assembled according to an undefined set of criteria in an effort to diagnose the addicted video gamer.
