Video games can have positive, therapeutic effects on players of all ages, especially those with mental or emotional problems. Games provide a chance to tune out the stresses of everyday life and decompress. Giving your mind time to rest is critical for emotional and mental well-being.

Video games are generally seen as a waste of time and nothing good can come out of playing them. People usually associate video games with nerds and adults who stay in the basements of their parent’s house. With all these negative associations with video games, it is hard to see that video games can actually be helpful and beneficial to an individual’s mental and physical health.

Video games have become a very popular hobby that anyone can obtain the skill at any point of people’s lives. Video games are a game played by electronically influencing images produced by a computer program on a television screen. In October 1958, William Higinbotham has created the very first videogame. Studies have shown that video games are actually healthy, and these studies can prove wrong what the older generations assume about video games. Although, older people that grew up with a different hobby that was not video games, there many things that videogames can help improve certain skills a human can strengthen.

Side effects of video games number just about as many types of video games that people play. In Lisa Weber’s article “Positive Effects of Video Games on Children,” she states several benefits that children obtain when they play video games. Some of these advantages include the areas of social development, education, and an emotional outlet. As a result, Lisa clearly displays her stance on the positive side of the opinions of video games. However, electronic gaming contains a voluminous amount of pernicious effects.

Video games increase coordination, improve problem-solving skills, sometimes enhances memory, and improves attention and concentration. It is a great source of learning, as it improves the brain's speed, enhances multitasking skills, and improves social skills. Patricia Greenfield, a psychology professor at UCLA, has studied the relationship between video games and intelligence and finds a positive correlation. Her research attributes an increase in worldwide "nonverbal IQ" (spatial skills, the use of icons for problem-solving and the ability to understand things from multiple viewpoints) to the spread of video games. I was thrilled to hear my prejudice confirmed--until Greenfield noted that this rise in IQ comes at the expense of potentially more important social skills. Which is to say that kids typically don't interact that well when they spend hours sitting in front of the computer or console. "It's

The first major reason that demonstrates that video games can help people in their lives is that video games help us medically. The game “surgery simulator” is a noticeable example that some people took the inspiration of to turn it into a project to help in a medical environment. A study that the Paris Descartes University worked on and used a video game concept. The work is done by Dr. Thomas Gregory , and he took similar concept to “surgery simulator” and tried something called “Oculus Rift” and it is virtual reality device at the concept of it is that the doctor will put a camera on his forehead and it will record at 360 degree while the doctor do the surgery. In the end they will put the video in the Oculus Rift and student or the doctor

Improving physical and mental functions aren’t the only benefits that video games have, and as in recent years, technology has advanced enough to where using simulation can now be efficient for various uses. An example of using simulation is that it can help people be more prepared and perform better at their professions. One study that was completed at Beth Israel Medical Center had 33 physicians participate in a program called the Rosser Top Gun Laparoscopic Skills and Suturing Program, which is a surgical training program (Rosser, Jr et al. 182). The overall results were that the participants that had played video games in the past did 33%-42% better than the participants that hadn’t played any video games. Current video game players

In the medical world, there is a strong need for more minimally invasive surgery techniques. Minimally invasive surgery comes with its disadvantages as well as its benefits, but overall the benefit overweighs the cons of this procedure. The surgery might take longer in a less invasive surgery due to the surgeon’s precision. Another drawback is the increased cost of this procedure due to the equipments required. On the other hand, it provides quick recovery time as well as less discomfort to the patient. Laparoscopy is at its infancy. With further more research and use minimally invasive surgeries will reduce its cons and increase its pros.
