ADDICTION RISING TO VIDEO GAMES

TORONTO - A new survey suggests video game addiction and psychological distress are on the rise among Ontario middle and high school students. A study by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto says more than one in three students in Grades 7 to 12 reported experiencing high levels of psychological distress, which is defined as symptoms of depression and anxiety, last year. That represents a 10-per-cent jump since the last study two years earlier.
