Tyler, TX — Playing video games have become a widespread problem, and for some it's interfering with their daily lives.

"There's really no personal interaction, it's all fantasy," says Susan Cason-Parks, Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

For some people countless hours are spent in front of the TV playing video games, whether their violent games or not,  it's become an addiction for some.

"We have raised at this point several generations of socially isolated human beings, a lot has to do with television," says Susan Cason-Parks, Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Reports say, more than 80% of young people play video games.

The controller is their hands for more than 20 hours a week. Addicted video gamers play twice as much as casual gamers.

The manager of Game X Change tells KETK it's an obsession.

"We have regulars that come in just about every single day for a new video game," Jamie McAdams, Area Manager.

"Many people that are addicted to video games don't realize they're addicted," says Susan Cason-Parks, Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Reports say, it can lead to anxiety, depression and violence.

Experts tell KETK, playing hours of video games can affect your behavior because the more a person is alone, the more they are anxious and depressed, and it becomes a cycle.

"There's very little one on one connection between human beings so it also makes sense that gaming would become so popular," says Susan Cason-Parks, Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
