Computer addiction

Demeevka works with this service confidentially and without judgement. First it is important to assess the person's condition, the risks and motivation and to choose the form of help that is appropriate right now.

Computer and gaming addiction

Computer addiction (including video games) shows up when gaming becomes the main source of emotions and crowds out real life — study, work, sleep and contact. It is more common in teenagers and young adults, but can occur at any age.

At the first stage we assess the effect on sleep, performance and relationships, and any anxiety, depression or aggression when limits are set.

When to seek help

With hours of gaming, neglected duties, irritability when trying to set limits, and sleep problems.

How we help

The basis is psychotherapy and work with the family; with anxiety or low mood, a psychiatrist consultation.
