Online Gaming Addiction Is On The Rise

By Timmy Motson


It comes as no real surprise that the current boom in online gaming is creating some casualties. It is getting much easier for us to play these online games and that is the major reason why more and more people are doing it. The craze for mixing social media with gaming is also fuelling this increased appetite for this activity.

This is a pastime that many people will spend hours on so it would not be wrong to say they are addicted. It is considered to be an addiction when you do too much of a certain thing and online gaming is no exception.

Gaming often gets a bad press from those who do not see the attraction in it. They may view it as a waste of time and just an excuse to be lazy. Because it is not actually gaming that is bad, this type of criticism might be considered by some to be unfair. You may not realise it, but gaming is considered by many to be very beneficial.

Gaming is something that can have a positive effect on our stress levels which is obviously a good thing when you consider how harmful stress can be to our health. Online gaming is often combined with social media these days so it means that people will have a chance to socialise when they play these games. Games are considered to be an ice breaker and have been used by us for years.

When it comes to online gaming these days it starts to become a bad thing when people let it take over their lives. If it becomes something that they have to do instead of something that they want to do, it is a problem. Instead of benefiting their life it starts to bring an increasing number of disadvantages. It is important that any addiction to online gaming is dealt with in an effective manner.

There are a number of groups now that are devoted to helping people overcome their online gaming addiction. Getting their lives back is something that these groups help people to do.
