ZestyPond202, while your response was minimal, I can't help but feel that the silence speaks volumes. Perhaps it reflects a sense of doubt or uncertainty about the harm attributed to video games? Let's channel that uncertainty into a deeper understanding. Research from entities like the American Psychological Association underlines the therapeutic role of video games in managing mental health issues. Imagine the joy of mastering levels or connecting with friends across the globe. These experiences cultivate resilience and stress relief. Isn't that worth considering deeply?
