If any of you guys or gals read PC GAMER, obviously you'll have read the letter by Edd Skelton titled Anxiety Attacks in this months issue. He claims that the media frequently comments about computers or computer games affecting our health and social behaviour; stating they range from slowing our brain growth and affecting our ability to socialise properly with people. He also claims that because of his endless ours of playing computer games such as quake and counter strike that he now suffers from panic attacks.
Now i'm on my computer most days a week and for about 6-8 hours sometimes surfing the net and playing games and i've been doing this for about 5 years now, but yet i'm perfectly fine and i still find the time to socialise with friends and i'm not a drooling vegatable. Like the media say i should be.
I don't know if what has happened to Edd Skelton has happened to anyone else out there but i've never heard of people suffering Anxiety Attacks from playing computer games too much. It's a more common cause through drug use. So this again is probably another example how computers and computer games are used as scapegoats for another problem.
I just hope that one day gaming will be seen as a safe social activity not a social outcasts hobbie.
If anyone else out there has suffered Anxiety Attacks from playing computer games and taken offence at this post then i apologise as i did not post this to attack anyone.
