| description | In recent years, digital games have evolved into a worldwide form of entertainment that captivates individuals of
all ages. This game addiction has made people less active and less social, which could be harmful to both their
mental and physical health. Paradoxically, the very innovation that involves addiction has also emerged as a
powerful tool for cognitive repair and recovery. In this research, qualitative methods were used. The qualitative
study results came from a wide range of secondary sources, such as medical research articles, academic psychology
journal articles, medical blogs, and previous theses. This study looks into the reasons for game addiction as well
as the role of digital games in cognitive repair and addiction recovery. The study’s findings indicate that gaming
addiction has a damaging effect on people’s mental and physical health. Integrating digital games as a supporting
tool for cognitive repair during addiction recovery will be a promising approach to produce effective results. |
