Mental Impact of Gaming ( self )

submitted by jioptret Warning: 0%

I’ve always wondered how playing intense, fast-paced games impacts our mental state over time. Do they help us improve skills like reaction time and decision-making, or do they have negative effects like increased stress? If anyone knows of an article that dives into the psychological effects of these types of games, I’d love to check it out.
