One of my well known friend had tried to commit suicide due to some depression, it was around 2013-14. But somehow he survived. Last year I met him and asked him how he take care of his depression, he said he plays games every time when he feels depressed. It helps him to get out of depression and get lost into the The fantasy realm. That's quite interesting and I'm very sure that he didn't think it up by himself, it's most likely going to be recommended by a doctor. They have have embraced gaming therapy for a while now.

I think without gaming, maybe depression could've taking me down due to thinking of being locked up like a prisoner due to covid19 effects.

Boblee Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Doing anything that's got the capability to influence your mood either positively or negatively can very well be used to correct depression tendencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boblee Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 The kind of reality immersion that most new games gives players, makes it easier for them to feel connected to places they are never near to. It helps in a way that can't really be explained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Games makes me feel tremendous, boost my immersion high, and makes me to forget about the hardship surrounding the world at present due to covid19 and other dangers or challenges of life.

When people are cut off from their usual lifestyle, it affects them both physically, emotionally, mentally and psychologically. It's why the lockdown caused a lot of depression for most people.

I think any mode of entertainment, which helps to deviate our mind from the frustration of the real life, should be explored. I do like playing games while I am bored, or listening to songs, when watching movies. These are my favourite pastimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting to hear you mention those entertainments as your favourite hobbies. I love music and gaming, their two goes together too.

Exactly, the human mind can drift away from reality so easily when it's not comfortable of its situation. It's why when the pressure of the mind is too much, they tend to cave in.

Yes, and we shouldn't allow the mind to be carried away with intoxicated thoughts all the time, that's where psychological stress comes in to cause us harm.

Yeah, it's how some games are designed to make games have some sort of relief 😌 whenever they are playing. If they are sad playing, they will be happy.

Head_Hunter Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Whenever I feel very sad, when I remember my video games installed via my PC and PS4 it gives me enough enthusiasm to be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
