Using these games for long hours can harm people who use them frequently because they may show explicit violence or generate frustration or emotional disturbances in users. Along the same line, adolescents can be affected by these themes, thus developing neuro-emotional diseases such as anxiety and depression, which, complemented with personal, family, social, school, or work-related conditions, create a bio psycho-social imbalance in adolescents. Following the analysis of different articles related to the neural anxiety and depression correlation in adolescents after prolonged use of video games and the review of neuro-imaging studies, it has been concluded that the indiscriminate use of video games for extended periods generates alterations at the neuronal level through the activation of different areas of the brain (especially the amygdala and areas such as the left hemisphere) —video games with topics of action, violence, online, and adventure, in adolescents aged 10 to 20 years old—. It alters the production of noradrenaline, serotonin, GABA, and cortisol —primary neurotransmitters related to anxiety and depression—. Thus, a positive correlation is maintained between the prolonged use of video games and the appearance or maintenance of diseases.
