New study seeks to reveal the impact of competitive gaming on mental health
Scientists are set to examine the mental health of professional esports players in a new study which intends to unveil the impact of competitive gaming.
The project is being led by the universities of Chichester and Winchester, in collaboration with the esports industry, to improve the wellbeing of top players. It will specifically examine gamers involved with the popular online multiplayer Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
This project will advance the current lack of understanding of the factors influencing mental health in professional players. We hope to be in a better position to help gamers deal with the intense demands of gameplay."
