Metaverse: A Blessing or a Curse for Youth Mental Health?
What's metaverse really about?
Did you know? Research shows that youths are spending 40% more time in metaverse-like environments than before. It's not just about gaming anymore. It's about living, studying, and even working.
But here's the dilemma: recent studies link excessive metaverse immersion to maladaptive behaviors.
We're talking anxiety, depression, even addictive tendencies. Scary, right? But it's not all doom and gloom.
Here's the silver lining: the metaverse can also boost resilience, self-efficacy and social skills.
That's because:
- It offers a safe space to express and explore.
- It helps develop problem-solving skills.
- It fosters global connections and empathy.
**So, are we making a deal with the devil by embracing the metaverse, or are we opening a new world of possibilities? **
