Is gaming good for your health?

Available for over a year

We take an in-depth look at the world's biggest entertainment industry, gaming. Professor Andrew Przybylski is director of research at Oxford University's Internet Institute, and explains what motivated the World Health Organisation to recognise gaming addiction as an official medical condition. Dr Henrietta Bowden-Jones is director of the UK's first state-funded clinic to treat gaming addiction, and tells us that whilst gaming can have negative effects, it can also be a force for good. And Robert Steen discusses the positive impact the community of people playing World of Warcraft had on his son, Mats, before he died as a result of a degenerative condition. Also in the programme, with economic growth in China at its lowest level in almost three decades, and the birthrate at its lowest since the 1940s, we consider the prospects for the world's second largest economy with Sara Hsu, chief of the US-based economic research consultants China Rising. Plus our reporter travels to Telford in England to find out about the challenges involved in recycling old fridges. (Picture: Gamers at an internet cafe in China. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
