“It's going to be just all these signs that show that it's no longer a child or teen wanting or asking to play, but it's a child or teen needing to play. And that's where all the difference is going to be.” – Melissa Nobile, psychologist MSc.
The popularity of video games has risen dramatically since the start of the pandemic, with lockdowns and restrictions only increasing the appeal. But while the interest among consumers has multiplied, so too has the development of addictive patterns.
In the latest podcast from The Kusnacht Practice, Global Sales and Marketing Director Philippe Rovere talks with Melissa Nobile – psychologist MSc about the effects of gaming on mental health.
Melissa explores the indiscriminate nature of gaming dependence. The manifestation of combined factors that can lead to an addictive pattern. The obsessive and neglectful behaviours exhibited, as well as advice to parents on methods of early interventions.
