Consequences

This question has not yet been fully investigated. A clinical experiment with people consulting us for problematic video game use has been carried out, but it did not reveal any greater risk of drug use than the general population.


For further information, we recommend that you consult :

- The government website for the fight against drugs and addictive behavior
- The Institut d'Education Médicale et de Prévention (IEMP) information campaign on the proper use of screens
- The "Amelie" health insurance website, and its article on the fight against screen addiction
