Video Game Addiction Overview | Episode 001 

Shoutout to the camera guy for constantly panning left and right

Looks professional, talks like a sailor. Must be a gamer.

This has been up for almost a year? Devs really need to buff your AoE size. This is criminally underrated at 2k views.

I love how he speaks from the point like he's an equal to the viewer who is also a gamer. No medicine terms and boring talk that distances the speaker and the listener. Instead he says words like "doing this shit for you guys" and "you guys". It's way easier to engage and listen to someone who speaks like your equal. Thanks for the video :).

youtube algorithm should recommend this to a lot of other people

Can we just stop and appreciate the 10/10 hair. Out of this world.

Bruh you were doing this when nobody is watching. Your dedication is amazing. Your story is amazing too. People can relate to you especially since you were one of us before. You need to share your struggles more next time.

I can't thank this man enough. This whole seminar enlightened me at my darkest moment, but more importantly, it soothed me greatly. 5 years ago, I arrived to the (wrong) conclusion that the only option left in order to overcome videogame addiction was to quit playing them indefinetley; in other words, to treat it like other addictions. So I did. But quitting one of the things I love most turned me into a miserable human being. It just didn't work for me and I couldn't stop feeling the uncomfortable inner conflict. I feared if I started playing anything again I would relapse, and trust me that's scary shit. This lecture (amongst others) truly helped me to take a step back and approach this issue (with the help of great professionals) from another perspective. So far so good, granted I still have a lot of work to do. But somehow I had forgotten, a long time ago, something I truly cherished as a child: that videogames are both an art form and entertainment. Something so simple, got lost along the way from childhood to adulthood and they sucked me into a selfish vortex of self-destruction. This last couple of years have been challenging, but at the same time pretty rewarding. So yeah, kids, listen to this man and listen carefully. From the bottom of my heart, thanks mister (Dr.) Kanojia. Thank you.

I love how he is constantly walking side to side and the cameraman has to keep him in frame.

Quem veio pelo Filipe Deschamps desse a mão no like! Tmj!!

As a recent psych grad, I really would've appreciated if I had a class addressing this topic or had a professor that was like you. Definitely learned a lot and what you said really resonated with me.

commenting so this gets more exposure and RU-vid can start recommending this to other people. don't usually comment but this is far too underrated. RU-vid please get this right.

Dude this is beautifully framed, I love the way that you go about explaining it. Well spoken. Thank you

I just love how open he is with his language, it makes it so much genuine. Makes a huge difference compared to other speakers. More swears!

Leaving a comment for the youtube algorithm because what I've heard so far from this guy has been more relatable than any of my therapists have been. Hope more gamers see this!

This guy speaks of things only some people will begin to understand. I am part of that group. He does seem to be on to something. That will change people's ways of viewing gamers. I for one was concerned of being an addict because I was told that I am. I don't see it that way, playing games kept me out of a lifestyle that would turn me towards drugs, I also spoken to others who felt the same way as I do. Dr K. speaks from experience and its the truth. People need hear this it will help others understand about who play video games and why.

It feels like this guy is going to blow up on popularity, and for all the right reasons

Another comment bump for how important and relevant this topic is and how often it is utterly misunderstood. Really hoping this blows up and helps a lot of people. Thanks for this!

RU-vid algorithm, please start sharing this. Love your work!

Twitch Will definitely Buff him More and More. Reckful was just a start!

Wish I heard this 10 years ago, good luck everyone, self care is everything.

Your Videos are insane. Not only are they extremely well structured and precise, but they are free and most importantly anonymous. I want to express my sincere gratitutde for sharing your insight, as I have encountered multiple situations where I longed for an explanation for my behavioural pattern, which I consider problematic.

"I'd love to be playing more videogames but i am here doing this shit for you". I'll stop you right there. You convinced me. I'll watch the whole series.

Saw you from Devin Nash videos time to watch all of your videos keep up the good work.

My friends on discord who quit WoW with me have all slowly trickled back and started posting screenshots and info about the game. Recently I admitted to them that I realized I've been struggling with gaming addiction since I was 3 years old. (16 yrs on WoW, I was introduced to N64 at 3 in '97) It hurts even more because we would all crack jokes about "bobbys maze" and had this "better then that" attitude boycotting them after the scandal, when information about the cosby suite came to light and the woman who took her life after her nudes were spread around the company. It feels like the people I've gotten to know over the last 3 years are revealing and admitting themselves as hypocrites. I'm really struggling with letting go of the 16 years worth of mounts, memories, and rare goods that I walked away from to write my own irl quests and work on my character irl. I'm struggling with setting boundaries in a gaming community and struggling with wanting to abandon them and their hypocrisy to the maze. So today instead of giving in I decided to look to Dr. K for advice, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for these resources. I genuinely feel that if I didn't have Dr. K's guidance and relatability, I might have conceded my life back to the maze too. Thank you.

This has got to be the best series on YT.

This guy is a great lecturer. Good flow, very articulate.

this will help a lot of people. big respect nd appreciation for what u do

Recently found his videos. And i love this guy. ✨ This is my appreciation comment. 🥂

Now this is what I’m talking about he gets it. Nice work

I watch the Twitch streams every week. Love it ❤

Holy moly, this series is so accurate.

Video: "Video Game Addiction Overview" Speaker: "I don't think the term addiction is appropriate"

wow wow wow this is wonderful, I have a lot to learn in my life.

Great video.. This topic should definitely get more exposure

I got recommended both reckful and destiny's videos, glad I finally clicked and discovered your channel.

dr.k is amazing and all we needed in our lives

This whole thing is extremely interesting listen to. Please share more insight!

commenting for engagement. this was helpful.

This is such an important series. Algorithm spread this!!

Man, Dr.k is amazing!

Have been looking for this. I teach young adults about addiction issues.

I had my phone charging screen facing down and somehow opened RU-vid to this channel. Gotta say it did a better job than youtube scuffed algorithm

This series was amazing man

hey dude, thanks, u are legend

So much worth it!

This video shows that procrastination can be useful

This man is an Angel 😊

That's awesome

Too good

Good stuff

Hello. I"m Dr. Goutamsinh Jadeja from Mumbai, India.This path of Dr.K is obviously one of its kind and unique. The part of this video where he mentions that gaming "addiction" is different is very impressive and true....actually calling it an addiction is also not 100% correct....also it would be better if there were some use of the black board behind with some diagrams as visual understanding is quicker.....thanks

Watching this while playing games

It feels like a video from 2007 and he is talking about discord server. So weird

I just realized that I wasted an entire afternoon typing down quality italian subtitles (yeah I tend to OCD a bit on this stuff) for no reason since that they are gonna remove the subtitle feature in two weeks or so, this is awful x: Apparently there may be a way but the channel itself must approve them or something, that is after september 28th though. I really wanted to help spread information about the topic and translate all these lectures in my languague but eh... Can you guys upvote this so Dr.K can see it and maybe find a way to deal with it? Thanks.

Very cool

this is amazing

This dude knows some shit, I'm gonna speed run his show. Let's rock and roll gamers

This longer hair style looks amazing 🤩.

RU-vid algorithms need to promote this.

Filipe, você clarificou nesse vídeo uma maçaroca de pensamentos que estavam flutuando na minha mente! O quanto eu fui condicionado durante minha vida a buscar resultados e afirmações de competência. Eu estava levando isso para a faculdade... Em outros projetos, sempre começo por um objetivo, mas é muito difícil não afundar na procrastinação contando apenas com algo tão abstrato, é quase como abraçar o pessimismo! Pequenos passos... Um de cada vez! Bora ganhar XP! hahahahaha

Peace, Love & Serenity

This is good

god damn, Dr. K.

good video😀

Well, I'm in shock a little.. just found this video while (still) play Diablo II and after all of these years (since it was released), I'm starting to think if I can stop when I want.. 🤔

Its too bad the algorithm wont let this guy be on the front page. They are scared that this guy will lower youtube traffic cuz everyone gonna be out doing great things.

Yt algorithm didn't recommended this, I had to search for it, shame on It, only.

commenting to recommend

I'm gonna learn the shit out of this playlist.

Well that's really all a disorder is. It's when in your given context, you're doing something considered socially deviant, it's impairing your capacity in life and there's some sort of breakdown in behavioural or cognitive function, like that's just literally what a disorder is. So for me gaming addiction appears to be just stepping into the waters of a disorder when it (gaming) is impairing your life in some way, and when it's influencing your ability to function both behaviourally and in accordance to the established norms of your society

Nice video

This is what the internet needs

Dr. K made me want to play Diablo 2 again

My brother and I were both addicted to drug. I got sober by starting a maintenance therapy and still am on maintenance therapy. My brother got sober cold turkey and is now addicted to video games. Cold turkey is not safe in any type of addiction. Addiction is a mental health disorder.

I love how all the ads for this channel.are video game ads 😂😂

Agora vou ter que aprender inglês para acompanhar esse cara kkkkk

I FINALLY FOUND OUT HIS FIRST NAME AND ALOK IS SUCH A GOOD ONEEEE

I hope the algorithm pick this

Watching this made me kind of seasick. The camera was swaying back and forth way too much while I was trying to concentrate.

Também já fui adicto em Diablo 2

Shoutout to the cameraman for keeping Doc in frame

I'm playing Diablo 2 right now. :)

here due to new youtube algorithm

diablo 2 was the shit at that time man i feel you :)

This resonate with me specialy hearing diablo 2 I can relate so much. I've started watching this series of video and I would like to thank you very much for posting these for free. I've been gaming way to much since I was a teenager and over time I though I was in depression but this series opened my eyes a lot.

you know i gotta problem when im watching this and playing tarkov

bro just saying that his hair here looks epic

5:02 ajajaja lol, lo amo

Just what I need, someone to tell me I'm special. I'm sure I won't feel vindicated unfairly from this. 10/10 analysis.

I think I'm.... a gamer :o

Is there any way to get an easy full English transcription of the lecture ? *_* I would love to do Portuguese subs for this whole series and spread this like hell

Very interesting video. Any idea why he has Polish subtitles? Sincerely, Someone who is proud to be Polish🇵🇱
