In Russia there are rehabilitation centres for dependent Pokemon Go

Dependent on the game Pokemon Go in St. Petersburg will be treated in special rehabilitation centers. About it reports “Radio Baltika” with reference to sources close to medical facilities.

Methods of treatment of fishers of pokemon will be selected individually, some experts are planning to apply pharmacology. According to doctors, the dependence on catching pokemon is similar to other types of gambling, as well as other diseases not associated with smartphones and the Internet.

“Gambling addiction has many faces, there are different options, including this pokemon game. Here’s the difference — there’s a connection with reality, so the person who depends on games and the Internet, starts to abuse it, and it becomes noticeable,” – said the head physician of medical centre “Bekhterev” Vitaly Morozov.

“By and large it is the same game like other online games, just usually the person sitting at the computer. Here players are forced to walk, walk, catch, seek is as if all alcoholics went to the streets and began to drink or drug addicts to shoot up. But the principles remain the same: some have been ill and will be forgotten, and someone will be addicted that will require treatment,” explained the medic.

Patients suffering from dependence on a Pokemon Go will first need to consult with psychologists.
