[Explanation] Recently, a 21-year-old man in Zhejiang has been addicted to "script killing" and "gossip", which has caused heated discussions, and people have different opinions on this.

Why does playing "Script Kill" cause mental illness?

Recently, the reporter interviewed a psychotherapist about this.

  [Explanation] "Script Killing" is an immersive game. Liu Yan, a psychotherapist at Beijing Huilongguan Hospital, believes that it has a stronger sense of substitution than online games, and the game method is similar to a child's "play house".

  For example, children "play house", he is actually a kind of social activity between children through games, and then this "script killing" is actually a kind of social activity, from these two natures, I think It is a game, a game between children or a game between adults.

  [Explanation] Su Ying, a national second-level psychological counselor, said that any irritating things have the potential to make people addicted, such as smoking, drinking and so on.

When people's self-worth cannot be realized in real life, and they are easily satisfied in the virtual world, people are prone to addiction.

  Whether it’s games or gambling, other addiction phenomena are actually the same reason, that is, I get a sense of accomplishment in that and I can control all rhythms. The sense of control and accomplishment give him a virtual reality. A sense of value, this virtual sense of value will make him very happy, and repeated stimulation will make him addicted.

  [Explanation] She pointed out that most addicted patients are disconnected from real life and are indifferent to the real world, which will cause other problems in the long run.

  The reaction of real social life does not stimulate me anymore, but I am just immersed in it, and after a long period of time, I will have fantasy or delusion.

I have been immersed in it for a long time, causing sleep problems, irregular eating, etc., and physical diseases may come out.

  [Explanation] Liu Yan believes that the development of addiction from playing "script killing" is related to the individual.

For this patient in Zhejiang, "script killing" can only be regarded as an incentive.

  In fact, there are many young people who play "script killing", but not all of them are addicted, right, the reason why he is addicted, I think it has something to do with the addicted person itself, which is "script killing" it It's just a carrier, or it's an inducement.

  [Explanation] Another reason why this matter has received widespread attention is that the patient is an adult. Su Ying said that the addiction has nothing to do with age.

  Regardless of whether he is an adult or a teenager, as long as he is repeatedly strengthened during a certain behavior process, he will form a virtual signal transmission between the brain. Once this virtual signal transmission is formed, it will become addictive.

  [Explanation] As a new social favorite, "Script Killing" certainly has its meaning.

Liu Yan introduced that in the field of psychotherapy, there is a treatment method called "psychodrama". By playing a role, patients experience the emotions and thoughts of the role, thereby changing their behavior habits.

Although most "script killings" are not comparable to "psychodrama", this kind of game can allow players to interact with each other, moderate participation, and people with weak social skills will benefit.

  By playing "Script Killing", you will completely become another person. You are no longer yourself, so this part actually makes this kind of social evasive person easier to establish some relationships with others, or It is easier for him to have some self-confidence in this kind of communication. If this part can affect him, he can also bring this part into his real life, which may also be helpful to his social life.

  [Explanation] Su Ying also reminded that although "Script Killing" is fun, players should try to avoid scripts with high-intensity excitement when choosing a script, and the operators of "Script Killing" should also check it out.

  Our human brain has such a characteristic, that is, it is instinctively easier to remember the events closest to me, so if we play the "script-killing" company or the place where it is operated, if we notice the ending, this ending is Instead of ending with a bloody, cruel, and horrible ending, but with a harmonious, happy, and joyful ending, it would make me feel happy and happy and secure, which would be better.
