Dedicating himself almost exclusively to it. When he began to limit it, although it did not fully solve the issue, that time started to decrease. But all the time he was at home, he was playing on a screen. As a team we chose to treat it as a drug addiction, so he was admitted so that he could "sober up" from his addiction, in this case, screens.
