In conclusion, all addictions are harmful, to the addicted and those around him/her, but video game addiction in children is a serious matter. Scientists, Physiatrists, and Pediatricians are currently conducting tests and studies to rectify this issue. Not surprisingly, those who are addicted saw a significant drop in their grades. Results from tests and surveys indicate that once the addicted child stops gaming, their depression lifted. Those who are addicted spend more than twenty two hours a week glued to their computer monitor or TV screen, playing video games, so pediatricians recommend no more than two hours a day. Video game addiction is definitely linked with depression and anxiety in children.
