4. Video Game Addiction

Video game addiction began in the last decade and with the introduction of many other gaming gadgets, it is on a rise now. Like Internet addiction and others, it is characterized by the interference of gaming with other aspects of life. Although it is not yet considered an official addiction by the American Medical Association, video game overuse has led to terrible consequences.

In July 2011, a 20-year-old computer programmer in U.K died of deep vein thrombosis from sitting for too long in front of computer. A blood clot started in his calf and eventually caused fatal blockage in his lungs.
