Several studies have explored how video gaming interacts with mental health:

Competitive games can cause anger, frustration, and burnout, especially in people who tie their self-worth to performance.

Excessive gaming can be both a coping mechanism and a risk factor for depression, anxiety, and social isolation.

If someone is already struggling with suicidal ideation, tilting in games may exacerbate feelings of hopelessness, inadequacy, or self-loathing.
