Digital Detox (Fast) - Improve Your Child's Behavior and Mood in 30 Days By Removing All Screens
Digital Detox (Fast) - Improve Your Child's Behavior and Mood in 30 Days By Removing All Screens *** WARNING: If your gamer or child is violent, then consult professional help to unplug from media. Do not do a digital fast/detox without assistance from a medical professional if your gamer or child is violent. ***
Video games hold a complex place in modern culture, acting as both digital salves and potential vices. When played in moderation, approximately 1 to 2 hours daily, video games offer a range of health benefits. They have been shown to reduce the perception of pain during intense medical procedures like burn treatments and even during labor. Additionally, strategic and problem-solving game elements can enhance mental cognition, offering a reprieve from depressive symptoms and improving hand-eye coordination.
However, when played too much, there are negatives. Even water is lethal if ingested in large quantities. The flip side of this digital coin reveals a more concerning picture. Excessive gaming can lead to a variety of mental health issues, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and autistic symptoms known as “virtual autism”. It can disrupt normal sleep patterns, leading to significant sleep deprivation and violent tendencies. Perhaps most notably, the immersive and often rewarding nature of video games can lead to addiction, where the game world takes precedence over real-life responsibilities and relationships. This dichotomy positions video games as a digital drug—a source of both therapeutic relief and potential dependency. It's crucial for players to find a healthy balance to harness the benefits of gaming while avoiding its pitfalls.
Researchers estimate that between 1.7% to 10% of gamers in the U.S. could be considered addicted to video gaming. Given that there are approximately 227 million gamers in the U.S. in 2023, this would mean that potentially between 3.86 million (1.7% of 227 million) and 22.7 million (10% of 227 million) individuals might be grappling with gaming addiction. There are about 3.09 billion gamers in the world. Applying these percentages to the global context would yield an estimate of addicted gamers ranging from about 52.53 million (1.7% of 3.09 billion) to a staggering 309 million (10% of 3.09 billion) globally. These numbers highlight the need for awareness and resources to address potential gaming-related issues.
Dr. Victory Dunckley (a pediatric psychiatrist), Dr. Jeffrey Hansen (a pediatric and adolescent psychologist), Dr. Andrew Doan, me (ophthalmologist, neuroscientist, and aerospace medicine physician), and many others have observed the above symptoms resolve as early as one month after a digital fast is started. The younger the child, the more robust the response to the digital fast.
