Hey! While I was similar to your child (now a good few years older), I'm not a parent or really knowledgeable in these situations, but I'd highly recommend checking out Dr. K ("Healthy Gamer").

He's an actual psychiatrist from Harvard and has a YT channel focused on mental health for gamers (https://youtube.com/@healthygamergg) but also for parents, https://youtube.com/@healthygamerfamilies

His resources helped me personally, and I'm confident his parent channel is just as good!

Good luck!!

I am not a gamer, but I discovered Dr. K on a podcast talking about issues with young men. He spoke a lot about incels. Really interesting and smart man. Definitely a voice worth listening to. Especially if you're concerned about the health of young men. Great recommendation.

Could you link (or just give a search term) to whichever podcast you're referencing? Seems like this guy has been on quite a few.

Dr K has his own channel at https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyGamerGG

Very good IMHO.

It was a two part episode called "This Keeps People Lazy & Pathetic! - Porn, Sex, Women, AI Girlfriends & Weak Men | Healthy Gamer" on the podcast Impact Theory.

There are two episodes one from March 5 and 6 of this year.

He also wrote a book for parents named How to Raise a Healthy Gamer.
