However, one must be attentive to the appearance of symptoms that may suggest an evolution from self-control to pathological behavior, where control becomes beyond the players&#8217; capabilities.  <\/p>\n<p>Some of the clues that can trigger the alarm:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Social isolation.<\/li>\n<li>Using games to channel daily stress.<\/li>\n<li>Muscle pain due to poor posture.<\/li>\n<li>Loss of sense of time.<\/li>\n<li>Outbursts of anger when game time is limited.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Only recently have video games come to be considered potential causes of addiction.
