, which suggests that video games could be used to treat hyperactivity and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).

Dr. Scott Kollins, professor of psychiatry and behavioral studies at Duke University, has stated that: «This study is designed to evaluate whether video games work as therapy, specifically to see if they improve attention, and video games do just that. For now, video game therapy is not finished, it is a good alternative, there is treatment, and it is promising according to Kollins.
