I've been playing computer games like: Fortnite, Call of Duty, and wonder if I can become addicted to it?
The experts agree: you can.
If you are in danger, you can test it: leave it for four days and see how you feel about it.
Yes sure! This is even considered a disease ;-)

Yes you can, but it is the question of when it is seeking. Because sitting on the PC, even if constantly is not looking for a flat rate. If staying away from the PC for you, if you do something else is not a problem, then it's more a habit. If there are other problems in the personal, it may also be that the PC is simply an alternative / substitute action.
Some psychiatrists and therapists are quickly addicted to the diagnosis without looking at the environment factors.

It was now also included as a separate disease in the ICD

but is technically disputed, since the research situation is too low and the risk of premature diagnosis is too high.
Thank you. The danger of premature diagnoses is so high because those diagnoses and medical history are hardly made.
It goes even further, because there's a social imprint in the "demonization" of computer games, which could lead to unconscious, premature diagnoses without adequate research of the anamnesis, also allows the classification of health services hardly adequate diagnostics, so also about this Way a wrong development as before with AD (H) S does not seem unlikely. Nevertheless, any activity that activates certain neurotransmitters in the brain (dopamine, endorphin, seratonin, …) is potentially addictive, even sport (a withdrawal can then produce symptoms similar to depression).
I think you should start far more with brain signals and then go to the cause, then you could talk more objectively about the corresponding interactions.
