Playing video games may seem like pure entertainment, but it can have a positive impact on your mental health and overall well-being. Whenever play my favorite game on my console, my mind gets a break from my fears. Also, it can enhance cognitive skills and reduce stress levels. However, it is essential to play in moderation. If gaming starts to interfere with your personal life or work or becomes an addiction, it is time to reassess your habits.
 
I would say that it does have the potential to help someone's mental health. As someone who suffers from anxiety and depression, I have found over the years that playing video games of all kinds has helped me a great deal and I would recommend it to anyone who was suffering with their mental health.
 
I can't say whether it improve mental health or not but as far as my smartphone is concern, it proved to be cause harm for my battery's health.

Yes, extended use of your smartphone for entertainment or gaming purposes can adversely impact your battery's health.

It depends, everything has it's good side and as well the bad sides. I have seen people who use games as a way to stay sane, or reduce stress, and so on.

The impact of gaming on our social connections differs depending on how we use it. Make sure that it does not have any adverse effects on our relationships with others. Sometimes, people get so occupied in playing games that they tend to neglect their family and friends, resulting in a lack of communication and connection with them. Others neglect their jobs. Hehe.

Correct. Playing games can be advantageous for people who suffer from anxiety and depression. It provides a temporary escape from our problems.
 
I never thought playing games can help to balance our mental health but the explanation from the poster make me to realize It is very possible. From today, i may start playing some games.

Yes, I guess there is no harm in playing video games as long as you can manage your time effectively. Hehehe. Just remember not to neglect your duties, like earning money and doing household chores, and all that stuff.

The watching of the videos bring about the entertainment aspect kind of thing. It doesn't related on the healing of mental health.

Healing and enjoying yourself are two distinct experiences. Taking a break from stress can significantly contribute to relaxation and provide relief for your mind.
