Eine kürzlich durchgeführte randomisierte klinische Studie hat gezeigt, dass Achtsamkeitsmeditationstraining bei der Behandlung von Internet-Gaming-Störungen wirksam ist. Die Intervention reduzierte die Symptome erheblich und war auch mit neuronalen Veränderungen in der Gehirnkonnektivität verbunden, was auf eine verbesserte emotionale Regulierung hindeutet.

The following is taken from the “Conclusion” section of the article:

This study confirmed the therapeutic efficacy of mindfulness meditation in patients with internet gaming disorder (that is accompanied by depression). Mechanistically, mindfulness meditation alleviated depression and gaming addiction primarily by enhancing the functional connectivity of the executive control network, frontal-striatal pathway, default mode network, and the prefrontal–amygdala pathway (key for emotion regulation). This enhancement improved emotion regulation, cognitive control, and craving inhibition abilities, thereby interrupting negative reinforcement mechanisms and alleviating depression and gaming addiction. These results indicate that mindfulness meditation is a promising treatment option for patients with internet gaming disorder (accompanied by depression), and provide a valuable reference for further investigation of the effectiveness and mechanisms of mindfulness meditation in addictive disorders.

I can say, without question, that meditating once a day for 30 days, without skipping a day, will have a tangible and very real impact on your day to day life.

How does one even meditate and for how long per day?
