Have you ever heard others talking about video games and felt completely lost? 

In this episode, guests that are both self-proclaimed “gamers” and who specialize in treating addiction to gaming, internet, and screen use, give us the 101. Join us for a discussion on gaming culture, what’s popular, what are the signs when it is more than “just a game”, and what to do if you think you or someone you know might be gaming “too much”.
