It’s estimated that 400,000 Canadians are addicted to gaming.

Gaming addiction is primarily about dopamine and escapism, says Renee Zavislak , a licensed psychotherapist, trauma specialist, nutritionist , and host at Psycho Therapist: The Podcast .

Gaming isn’t inherently bad. Interactive games can be a source of community and connection.

Studies have shown that gaming can improve problem-solving skills and hand-eye coordination.
