A member asked:
Can you tell me the negative effects of playing on the computer too much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Playing: Spending inordinate amounts of time online has both physiological and psychological effects. Eye strain, poor physical routines, poor diet are all strongly associated. As well as limitations on "real" relationships, loneliness, isolation, depression, and increased anxiety and stress levels.
