35: What is Gaming Disorder?

Analog Assault Episode 35: What is Gaming Disorder? Recorded on Sunday, June 24, 2018.   Gamers have always had to live with various stigmas, but a recent announcement by the CDC is warning us that we may fall victim to “gaming disorder.” This week, we are talking about this new affliction and our own experiences with mental health and support. Is gaming disorder a serious issue? What can gamers do to fight bad stereotypes as well as help those who may truly need it?   Your submissions to Shots Fired get us talking about stress relief, the effects gaming disorder has on the community, games as a form of education, and Elder Scrolls Online.   If you want to be featured in our Shots Fired segment, tweet @mulehorngaming using #AskAnalog, hit us up on Facebook, or hop into our Official MHG Discord Server to chat it up!   Watch live on Thursdays @ 8:30 PM CST! https://mixer.com/mulehorngaming Become a supporter: https://www.patreon.com/MulehornGaming Mulehorn Gaming on the Web: http://www.mulehorngaming.com Mulehorn Gaming on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Mulehorngaming Mulehorn Gaming on Twitter: https://twitter.com/mulehorngaming Mulehorn Gaming Discord Chat: https://discord.gg/0xsJcrgy9oRQUf8A   Our podcast is supported by some amazing people known as patrons.
