The AMA is thinking of declaring vid game addiction a disease-Agree?

This question is in light of the case of the news of a Nevada couple who neglected their children...blaming their obsession for vid games the reason they didn't feed, bathe or cloth their two babies-11 months and 22 months-
Do you agree this is possible..or were they making lame excuses?

Answer:
Yellow d is right
People should have a little more self control that is the worst excuse I have heard for child abuse. Those babies are going to have problems because of their selfishness, they need to grow up and be responsible especially when they have someone else depending on them for their basic necessities of life. Those people are sorry a excuse for a human being.
Anything is Possible.
Everything is a disease now! I think it is just another ploy from the pharmaceutical companies to give you more drugs! When are people going to take control of their own lives and stop making excuses for everything!
video games can be addicting but we need to clearly define what is a disease. In my opinion there is no way this gaming addiction should be considered a disease. Talk about your self-inflicted illnesses! Those parents suck!
I don't know what the AMA is doing, but the APA (American Psychiatric Association) revises and adds to its DSM (Diagnostic & Statistic Manual) periodically on the basis of feedback from professionals. There are many forms of addiction and it seems reasonable that an addiction can manifest itself in video game playing. I think it's pathetic that people can neglect their children to play games, but addiction is powerful and can have significant consequences.
I would much rather see Infertility recognized as a disease way before Video Game addiction.

I think people are just losing it in general, our society is a society of self feeding pariahs.
