A new study out of UCSB's Media Neuroscience Lab indicates that gaming disorder (AKA video game addiction) likely develops from a player's preexisting mental health conditions.
That’s just a Vitamin B1 deficiency, not a dopamine toxicity, from my producer’s research on the matter. Another note on that is simply that gaming disorder is a fake condition, and that it covers up nutrient deficiencies. That’s how Neigsendoig (my producer) and I see it.
You aren’t completely wrong but what you are saying is wildly overly reductive. Yes nutrient deficiencies can cause many symptoms which overlap with mental health disorders such as ADHD and can often lead to similar dopamine seeking behaviors, but it is wildly inappropriate to observe a person’s disorderly behavior and conclude that the condition is dietary. It’s just not that simple.
From my producer’s research, he thinks it’s a good idea to seek dopamine by being outside and getting exercise. Otherwise, it might be a serotonin toxicity from being inside a lot (cabin fever I think), and that can be fixed by doing what I described to get your dopamine levels up.
This video might be what you’re looking for, especially since my producer knew that dopamine wasn’t the issue: it was serotonin toxicity potentially (or just a bad lifestyle):

I’m getting the impression that your producer isn’t remotely qualified to be making these claims.
