Hello there, gamers! I Never Cast For This is a podcast largely focused on debating controversial topics in gaming, and hopefully putting them to rest. Is cheating in gaming a moral issue? Is Pay-To-Win ever a good model? Are achievements ruining gaming culture? Join us every week as we discuss the positive and negative trends of the gaming industry, as well as casual discussions of games we've played throughout the week leading up to the podcast. Tune in LIVE Mondays, 8:30PM EST at http://www.twitch.tv/INeverCastForThis

episode 19: Is Gaming Disorder Real? - I Never Cast For This EP. 18
*DISCLAIMER* We are not mental health professionals. We are simply stating our opinions and having a conversation about mental health in gaming. This is Part 1 in our mental health series on Gaming and Mental Health. In this episode, we discuss gaming disorder and gaming addiction. Is gaming disorder legitimate, or just an excuse? Can people really be addicted to gaming, or just escapism in general? Can gaming be as addictive as drugs? Are video games really to blame for addiction, or are there underlying factors involved?
