Question

Playing video games can be a fun way to relax. It is a way to spend time with friends in schools. Teachers use video games like Minecraft to encourage teamwork. But for some players, gaming is an unhealthy habit. At night, they are glued to a screen. Their schoolwork becomes worse. The video-game world seems like a friendly place. It seems friendlier than the real world.

Mental health experts have taken notice. In June, the World Health Organization (WHO) added gaming disorder to its list of diseases and health conditions. A person may have the disorder if gaming has done harm to his or her relationships with family and friends. Gaming may also disrupt his or her everyday activities.

Not all experts agree with WHO . They don’t think too much gaming should be called a disorder. They say people hooked on(對(duì)……入了迷) video games may have other mental health problems. These should be treated first.

Others think WHO made the right call .Clifford Sussman, who has worked with kids as young as 12, says they often have feelings of anxiety(焦慮). They feel lonely. They get angry when a parent stops them from playing games.

Playing video games excites the brain’s reward center. After a while, the brain becomes numb(麻木) to pleasure. You feel bored without a controller in your hand. So you play even more.

Sussman advises you should take at least a one-hour break after every hour of play. The brain need time to return to a normal condition. Young gamers who think they might have a problem should ask an adult for help. Sussman suggests you first answer a simple question: “Are you in control, or is the game in control?”
