Yes, actually the Doc said "behind" the anger and war game addiction may lie a personality disorder, I misquoted, he didn't actually say they were symptoms, which might imply a proven scientific link, there's a slight difference in there somewhere I think.

I would say war game addiction is often associated with (usually mild) anti-social personality disorder, but I'm not a doctor either and have no love of war or games.

This Shrink reckons the personality disorders can be understood as forms of immaturity, that would explain why so many young men are war game junkies, they are more immature and more often anti-social than any other group (in most cases it will be quite mild never resulting in arrest or an official diagnostic label).

What I really wish I knew is do the games make them worse
