Half of the present generation isn’t even aware that they suffer from numerous passive stress conditions.  The names may change but the truth remains the same; the majority of us are stressed out.

The study comes as a rebuttal to those who think and propagate the thought that gaming has no social and psychological purpose whatsoever. With the advancement in the world of gaming, games have not only become fiercely realistic but have also given a platform to like-minded people to come together as a community. The growth of gaming has been evident and has its impact on individual lifestyles. More or less, a huge chunk of the male population will agree with the findings of this study.
