Jaipur : Jaipur If your child is fond of playing horror games on mobile, then it can be a matter of serious concern. Psychiatrists say that addiction to these games is increasing fear, irritability and loneliness in children, which is not only affecting their mental and physical development, but they are also lagging behind in studies. The number of such children is increasing rapidly in the psychiatric center of Jaipur, where three to four cases are being reported every week. According to experts at the Psychiatry Center, due to busy schedules, parents often hand over mobile phones to their children, but they are not able to see what the children are watching on the mobile. Many times children start playing investigation games based on ghosts, witchcraft and crime. In the beginning they find these games fun, but gradually they become addicted. Children adapt themselves to the characters of the game so much that they start living in that form. This fear takes over their mental health and children start struggling with fear, anxiety, and loneliness. Some children become afraid even to go to school. Only when the behavior of these children starts changing, the family members realize that something is wrong.
