A new scientific study has linked video games to anxiety epidemics in young people.
According to the report, video games cause a ‘fight or flight’ reaction that triggers an adrenaline surge and the danger is that this chemical remains in the body since no physical action follows.Pushing anxiety to such a level without physical action can cause adrenaline overload. The rise in anxiety disorders is frightening.
This follows a scientific study at the Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital in Taiwan that showed that obsessive gamers exhibited the same neurological effects as drug addicts.
Take care as always!
