EDIT: In the spirit of balance, after a few hours of answering, I'm taking a break to go walk. I will answer any highly voted questions when I return. If I missed your question, please do subscribe to my youtube and tune into stream to ask. First stream will take place this Tuesday at 5:00 PM MST.

Hey there Reddit!

My name is Adam Holman, LCSW. I've been specializing in treatment of video game/technology addictions for the last 7-years. I recently wrote a guide for parents to learn how to set boundaries to learn to work WITH their teenagers and parent better around gaming. In addition, I’m launching a new community called MEN.tal Health where the current generation of young men can learn to better understand their minds, improve their mental health, connect with others, and create healthy relationships (I’ll be going further in depth answering the most popular questions and any other viewer questions in our youtube stream on Tuesday, 6/27@5:00 PM MST, find the link to the channel below).

I'm here to answer your questions about mental health, the challenges of young men in the digital age, technology/gaming, and parenting around technology/gaming.

About me:

I started doing this work because my own mental health had been miserable for the majority of my life, and gaming was the only solution I had to relieve me from that. My well-intended parents tried to convince me I had a problem with gaming throughout the entirety of my teenage years, however this pushed me further into my gaming habits. I ended up failing and dropping out of my entire first two years of college before eventually getting kicked out of university. To make a very long story incredibly short, I was able to turn things around and find balance, eventually obtaining my Master's Degree in Social Work with a focus on Mental Health from UW-Madison.

The MEN.tal Health Community is officially launching this week. I will be answering viewer questions regularly and releasing content to help the digital generation of men improve their mental health. My Stream schedule will be as follows:

Howdy Reddit!

My name is Alex and I have albinism. Albinism is a rare genetic disorder that causes reduced pigmentation of the hair and skin. It also affects vision development; most people with albinism (myself included) are visually impaired.
