New research has found that “playing games” has an antidepressant effect in boys. It’s a pretty interesting finding in a society where gaming is the defendant of everything. Recently, a new study published in Psychological Medicine states that playing ufabet video games in general. It has been shown to reduce the risk of depression in boys (not girls) at the same time. Frequent use of social media It has been shown to increase the risk of depression in girls. (Not a boy) Let’s see the details.

Finding an interesting connection

In the new study, data were collected from 11,341 children who surpassed them in the 1950s. 2000-2002 participants in the Millennium Cohort Study in England found that boys who played video games at least once a month or more by age 11 had less depression scores than those who did not. Or play less than 24-31 percent of games

Maybe because of the fun of the game

Researchers have speculated that Playing video games may provide opportunities for children to interact while having fun. which is very helpful for boys who do not experience these physical activities. Boys spend more time playing games than girls. While women spend more time on social networks than boys. But playing a lot of boy games. It can help reduce depression symptoms in boys. But playing social media more in girls increases the risk of depression in girls.

Still need to continue to study

In fact, there are other important factors. That can be incorporated into the study for a more diverse example of education such as race, ethnicity, socio-economic status of the family. Further research is currently needed to gain greater understanding of the relationship between screen time and children’s mental health. Go deeper into the types of video games. The type of social media or website used by children May improve the accuracy of their effects on the mind

Now, however, we can’t be quick to conclude that all video games are good for our mental health. Still need further study in the aforementioned sections.
