Depression is a very bad thing to deal with and it's very important that it's tackled hard by all means necessary. 

It should be tackled by all means. When who is always facing the issues of depressing is reducing the life span due to challenges that comes through it. And I'm happy video games is an option to reduce the effect of depression.

I've said severally that playing games have really helped me to cope with the dangers of covid19. I was very depressed staying in the house not going to school for one year. Video games helped me to erase the sadness by keeping me all day busy.

When you have quality console running on frostbite or higher engine you'll always feel ecstatic to get onboard playing regularly. And such reduces the risk of depression.

A lot of people and gamers included have lots their lives as a result of being depressed in one way or another. It's why I see it as a cancer ♋.

Yes, when you're always depressed, it comes with different health issues, it can cause heartache, even cancer, etc. That's why we need to find peace in whatever passion or hobby we find ourselves in.

Yes, of course. When we have that eagerness to control our mindset from going shambles via video game, indirectly we are increasing the life span, due to the happiness derived from playing video games.

Seriously, depression can kick in at any time in one's life and it's why being happy all the time is very important to me and why I don't joke with my games. 

I have seen a kid that got his depression so bad that it almost cost him his life. It's why I recommend hospital check up with my kids most of the time.

I don't even know which one between kids and adult depression that's more critical and needs more attention.

Yeah, that's a fact. Depression kills both the old and young people without any discrimination. It's like cancer if you ask me.

You don't even need to stress it mate with how bad depression is in or for someone's health. They don't sleep or eat well that eventually lead to their death.

Giving someone a sense of purpose and happiness is one of the best way to tackle depression and video games can actually be something that makes one to feel accomplished when playing a particular video game.

Well, researchers found that boys who played video games most days had 24 per cent fewer depressive symptoms, three years later than boys who played video games less than once a month, although this effect was only significant among boys with low physical activity levels, and was not found among girls. 

Critics of video games say kids aren't getting enough exercise. Of course, no exercise might be a major culprit in depression and other health problems.  Anyway, I'm not to the extreme to get rid of games, but kids need to get into physical activity.

Yeah, of course, gaming is fun - so would eliminate depression to various degrees.

I remembered when I was still in high school, I found the pleasure to play with friends who were classmates back then during school over. After feeling sad during school hour due to excessive punishment from my seniors and teachers when I never get things right. Playing games erased such bad feelings back then, and made me happy.
