Like that was my basic problem.

I played video games for 20 hours a day.

And I liked video games.

I still like video games.

I still play video games.

But I couldn't get myself to stop.

So I was just like a human being who was like being carried by my body and my mind through life in a way that I really did not enjoy.

But I couldn't stop it.

And then I went to India.

I spent seven years studying to become a monk.

So I wanted to do psychiatry.

I was a little bit not thrilled about it because it was like not a real doctor.

I told my mom, who was also a doctor, and like my grandmother, and like, don't be a psychiatrist.

You'll go crazy.

What did your dad say?

My dad had passed away.

So my dad passed away...

yeah my dad passed away in uh my first year of medical school okay so um but i'm pretty sure i imagine he may have discouraged me i'm not sure but um so then i became a psychiatrist and then a couple years into my training um i i asked my mentors like what do you all think about video game addiction it's something i had struggled with this is back in 2015.

So I was kind of doing that.

And then I was like, but my people are like the gamers.
