00:00Your parents may have at some point told you that video games would rot your brain.
00:06Well, according to a new survey, they might actually improve your mental health.
00:10Though there's a caveat. Researchers surveyed around 100,000 people in Japan,
00:15finding that those who play video games or owned a gaming console reported improved mental well-being.
00:20Previous surveys have revealed that gamers report a positive effect on their stress levels,
00:24as well as a boost to their creativity. However, the most recent investigation
00:27also uncovered a darker side to gaming as well. That is, too much gaming can have the reverse
00:33effect. That checks out with reports from the World Health Organization, which lists a condition
00:37called gaming disorder. That's marked by a video game addiction, characterized by severely reduced
00:42control over gaming habits. This often results in reduced self-care, a negative effect on one's
00:48relationships, and is often a detriment to school and work. Experts say to get the most out of gaming
00:53and to avoid the pitfalls, set time limits for your sessions. They also recommend you
00:57monitor eating and sleeping habits when gaming, ensuring you're taking care of yourself.
