Is Internet gaming disorder real?

Addiction to gaming is described in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR), which is used by mental health professionals to diagnose mental disorders. In the DSM-5-TR, the condition is referred to as Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD)

Although I would probably agree with gaming being addictive and being in the DSM5 it is really a money grab by mental health specialists. If you can get your specialty listed then treatment can be funded by government. There are over 300 mental disorders listed in DSM5. Every listing is a legitimate and a terrible affliction that the government needs to fund. Most treatments involve years of therapy.

Origin and Etymology of in Fine Fettle

In its verb form, fettle meant to prepare or get ready. The phrase in fine fettle eventually popped up around the mid-19th century and was used to mean in good condition, whether it was a person or an object.

The noun fettle is found most often in the stock phrase in fine fettle “in a good state or condition.” Fettle is originally a British dialect word (Lancashire in northwest England), a verb meaning “to shape, prepare, fix, arrange.” Further origin is obscure: fettle may come from Middle English fetlen (fetelen, fatelen, fitelen) “to shape, fix, put, bestow” and be related to the Old English words fetian “to fetch, bring to, marry,” fæt “cup, vessel, vat,” and feter “fetter.” Or fettle may be related to the Old English noun fetel “belt, girdle.” The sense “to shape, prepare” entered English in the 14th century; the metallurgical and ceramics senses entered English in the second half of the 19th century; the sense “state or condition” in the mid-18th century.
