In an exclusive report published in January 2018 by WHO, the international scientific research has confirmed that gaming addiction is classified as mental health disorder. In order to check the gravity of this issue in Pakistan an empirical survey has been conducted with parents of young youth. Despite so much concern and research done by international professionals, Pakistani society is still unable to accept it as a disorder and to safe the young minds from harmful content. It has been revealed during survey that certain percentage of youth in Pakistani society are at higher risk of developing some kind of behavioral disorder due to gaming addiction.

On the contrary, it is the responsibility of media personnel & Industry both, on the other hand to create and develop harmless youth programming to refrain youth from such disorders.
