Recognised by the World Health Organisation as a mental health condition, gaming addiction is one of the fastest-growing online addictions. It can lead to symptoms similar to substance addiction, including mood swings, cravings, and tolerance, with young people being particularly susceptible due to the engaging nature of games and their developmental stage. It often arises when a child uses gaming as a coping mechanism to escape emotional stress, making it difficult for them to establish healthy boundaries. Additionally, negative experiences within gaming, such as harmful interactions or disparaging messages, can further impact a child’s mental health.
