Cam Adair 5,108 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I was just wondering if one experiences Withdrawal symptoms when quitting gaming, such as depression or social anxiety?Yes those can be normal. I don't know if social anxiety is a withdrawal symptom but maybe gaming was masking that you struggled with it. A few resources here to help you. Depression though definitely. I've attached a paper if you're interested. King_Craving_CHB_2016.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
