A study of nearly 100,000 people aged 10 to 69 in Japan found that playing video games can be good for mental health.
Experts have recently collected evidence on the benefits of video games, but they have also found that playing too much every day can be harmful to health.
Video games and other forms of online media consumption are an everyday part of life.
Surveys have shown that playing video games has positive effects on stress levels and creativity.
However, the concern remains. For example, video games may have potential negative effects on general well-being, aggressive behavior, and social development.
It should be noted that the World Health Organization (WHO) lists gaming disorder as a mental health condition.
