The Gulf Health Council has introduced a new behavioral test designed to raise awareness about gaming disorder. The initiative is part of a broader campaign promoting mental health and responsible video game usage. The test aims to highlight the importance of balancing digital activities with other aspects of life. Excessive gaming can negatively impact physical and mental health, as well as relationships. The World Health Organization recognizes gaming disorder as an official condition characterized by difficulty controlling gaming time and prioritizing games over other commitments. With the surge in global gaming popularity - exceeding 100 million players - the council emphasizes the need for a balanced approach. While gaming has evolved into a competitive e-sport, it is crucial to prioritize overall well-being. The test is designed to educate both gamers and parents about healthy gaming habits. By providing information and resources, the council hopes to prevent the negative consequences associated with excessive gaming. This campaign aligns with the council's broader strategy to promote mental health and safety in Gulf societies. Source: Saudi Press Agency
