About this ebook
Gaming Addiction Effects explores the complex relationship between excessive video game use and mental well-being. It examines the rise of gaming, now a multi-billion dollar industry, and how its design, social dynamics, and accessibility can contribute to addictive behaviors. The book addresses how compulsive gaming can lead to increased anxiety, depression, social isolation, and sleep disturbances, especially among adolescents and young adults, while also acknowledging that not everyone who games becomes addicted. The book presents a balanced view, acknowledging gaming's potential benefits while highlighting its risks. It progresses systematically, first by defining gaming addiction and differentiating it from casual play. It then delves into the psychological factors and cognitive biases that contribute to addiction, followed by an examination of the specific effects of excessive gaming on mental health. This approach is based on peer-reviewed research, clinical case studies, and unique data sources, such as analyses of online gaming forums. Ultimately, Gaming Addiction Effects offers practical strategies for managing gaming behavior, providing guidance for individuals, parents, educators, and mental health professionals. It aims to equip readers with the knowledge to understand, prevent, and address gaming addiction in an increasingly digital world, promoting digital well-being.
