Video games can act like hypnotics, causing people to lose their desire to eat, do activities and even sleep. Your first step should be to time how much he plays video games, and then gradually cut back the time by 2 hour increments. You will notice that he will become more alert, more interactive and regain his desire to eat and sleep normally.
