Playing computer games can be a fun way to relax. But for some players, gaming is an unhealthy habit. At night, they are so bus y playing games that their schoolwork becomes worse.The game world seems like friendlier than the real world.

Mental (心理) health experts have taken notice. In June, the World Health Organization (WHO) added gaming disorder(障碍) to its list of illness. A person may have the disorder if gaming has broken his or her relationships with family and friends. Gaming may also disrupt(扰乱) his or her everyday activities.

Clifford Sussman, who has worked with kids as young as 12, says they often have feelings of anxiety (焦虑). They feel lonely. They get angry when a parent stops them from playing games. Playing games excites the brain's center. After a while, the brain becomes numb(麻木的)to pleasure. You will feel bored without a phone in your hand. So you play even more.

Sussman advises you should take at least a one-hour break after every hour of play. The brain needs time to

return to a normal condition. Sussman suggests you first answer a simple question:“Are you in control, or is the game in control?”
