A 13-year-old boy has been diagnosed with PlayStation addiction.
Lorenzo Amato was rushed to hospital by his father, who feared he was suffering a stroke or brain trauma as the teenager did not respond to his surroundings.
Doctors diagnosed the condition after discovering that Amato had just finished a long PlayStation session.
"They eventually managed to take care of him once they understood that this was a strange kind of mental detachment connected to his PlayStation," said a local politician.
Amato later told his dad to throw away the video games console, saying: "If I even think about it I want to throw up."
