Dota gaming make those players become cyber bully. Whenever a team loses, the teammates will start scolding, cursing, swearing at their team mate that may have caused them to lose. This bad conduct bring stress to the team mate that is being targeted and he will do the same to other players in the next games. The winning team will also starts name calling on the losing team. This promote bad sportmanship. Many players are mislead to believe that this is happening in the actual world when it is not.

The risk of depression for those who used played computer games pathologically was about two and a half times that of those who did not. No relationship was observed between pathological Internet use and anxiety.

This result suggests that young people who are initially free of mental health problems but use to gaming pathologically could develop depression as a consequence,

Once they become addicted, pathological gamers were more likely to become depressed, have increased social phobias, and increased anxiety. And they received poorer grades in school," Gentile said. "Therefore, it looks like pathological gaming is not simply a symptom of depression, social phobia or anxiety. In fact, those problems seem to increase as children become more addicted. In addition, when children stopped being addicted, depression, anxiety and social phobias decreased as well."

Playing this game really *****. Players are always scolding and swearing at one each when they lost the game. It mislead many to believe that this is happening in the real world when it is not. Strictly advised against playing this dota game.

It's VERY VERY simple, dear.  If you've idenified a trigger that makes you depressed, anxious, and irritable, you avoid that trigger.  Throw the game in the trash, and get out and do something fun and positive.  Really is that simple!
