Yangtze River Daily Wuhan Client October 11 (Reporter Liu Xuan) October 10 is the 31st World Mental Health Day . This year's theme is "Creating a good environment and helping mental health together." "Game addiction" has been officially included in mental illness by World Health Organization . What personality traits are more likely to be addicted to games? Chen Tingting, director of the Department of Children's Psychology at Wudong Hospital, "portraits" of a game-added adolescents in the report "Personal traits and related psychological factors in youth game addiction".

"The incidence rate of Internet addiction among teenagers is not high, only 5%. "Chen Tingting is unwilling to label teenagers with game addiction easily. Most of the time, she is treated under the names of " depression ", "anxiety", and " communication disorder ". She pointed out that children with lonely, introverted, sensitive, shy, suspicious, pessimistic, emotionally unstable and poor self-discipline are more likely to develop game addiction. If a child has these personality traits, parents must pay more attention.

html In early August, a mother dragged her son into Chen Tingting's clinic. This is a fat boy weighing 170 pounds, 15 years old, but he has not finished the second year of junior high school. Because he has been playing games day and night for a long time, he has to temporarily take a break from school. The boy was admitted to the hospital. On the first day, he lay in bed and played games day and night. He only slept for a while when he was tired, and lying down to eat various snacks and food when he was hungry. Two or three days later, he followed Chen Tingting's words and changed his posture to sitting. A few days later, the boy began to adjust his work and rest, playing games during the day, and sleep at night. Later, every hour and a half of play, he would stop and rest and start walking in the ward...

Chen Tingting saw the boy's little changes and told his mother happily, but he still could not get the child's motivation from his parents. "Parents can't see his changes, but just see their children still playing games, they start to blame them blindly." Chen Tingting said that this is the real world facing this child, and he cannot get recognition from his family. The child's parents often travel on business trips, and he lives with his grandparents all year round. He doesn't like to exercise and becomes fatter the more he grows. He is ridiculed by his classmates at school and cannot make friends. I rarely hear praise in school or at home.

When life is filled with the voice of denial, the boy hides into the game world. In this world, he is praised and has many netizens. Every small progress can be rewarded in time even if you just cross a level. That kind of satisfaction and happiness is like a gentle rope, holding the boy firmly and becoming more and more addicted to it. Chen Tingting told Yangtze Daily reporter that most children are addicted to games, but they are actually "telling" the pressure and pain they cannot cope with.

In Chen Tingting's clinic, Internet addiction patients are concentrated between the ages of 13 and 18, and the largest proportion are high school students, because they often bear greater pressure. Children release stress and escape reality by playing games. "The addiction to games is actually a signal that children have emotional problems." Chen Tingting said that many times children have problems with their studies, which is actually a problem with their emotions and interpersonal relationships. At this time, if parents can communicate effectively with their children, they may avoid their children seeking recognition in the virtual world. Parents should learn to listen to their children’s voices and pay attention to their children’s changes. When the child doesn't speak, loses his temper, or closes the door, you might as well ask him if he needs help, and help him analyze the reasons in time and give him the help and encouragement he needs. Especially those parents who have too high expectations for their children should accept their children from the bottom of their hearts.

On the same day, Wuhan Wudong Hospital , in conjunction with the Qingshan District Disabled Persons' Federation Sunshine Heart Language Service Station and Gangdu Street Disabled Persons' Federation, held the World Mental Health Day theme publicity activity "Creating a Good Environment and Helping Mental Health" in Lujingyuan Community, Gangdu Garden Street, Qingshan District. Popularize mental health knowledge to citizens, and advocate that all sectors of society pay attention to and help patients with mental illness.Li Zhi, a music therapist in the field rehabilitation department, led the audience to experience music therapy, relax and experience happiness by participating in group tutoring, game interaction, etc., and use music memory to heal anxiety, release stress, and calm emotions.

"How to increase the happiness of life?" In the face of the audience's questions, Li Luankun, a psychotherapist at the Department of Psychology of Wudong Hospital, said that he would leave blank space for life and then add color. He pointed out that what people often say now is indeed to leave blank space for life, but it does not add color to life. To determine whether to add color, you might as well ask yourself two questions: How much time is left blank in a week? What adds to your blank life? Are these things interesting? If the answer is yes, then it is a color. This can reduce the adverse effects of mental internal friction on oneself to a certain extent.
