Internet & Gaming Addiction Treatment in Alberta

Internet and gaming addiction is an emerging mental health concern affecting people of all ages, but especially teens and young adults. According to Statistics Canada, nearly 1 in 5 Canadians aged 15 to 34 report that their screen time negatively affects their mental health. Excessive gaming and online use can disrupt sleep, relationships, school or work performance, and emotional regulation. Often, these behaviours are used to escape from trauma, anxiety, depression, or other unresolved challenges. (Source: Statistics Canada)
