Are there any mental health issues you’d like to see a game address with its story?

Quite a few games have addressed trauma and PTSD, and at least one of them helped me start processing my own traumas (Spec Ops: The Line). Are there other specific mental health issues you’d like to see a game address?

I was just about to mention Spec Ops in terms of dealing with your own delusions and PTSD.

I've never played any video game that centres to addressing mental health issues for me as a gamer. But with the option you mentioned I am hopeful such option exist.

I think a good story would be how easy it is to fall into a cult unknowingly, and what it takes to break free; the psychological attraction, addiction, and breaking away.

That's true - joining a cult unknowingly usually begins with them finding desperate people with no sense of direction and are easy to manipulate and roping them in.

Exactly; there is already a need of belonging for people that join cults which is exploited. I think there are mental health issues that make people more susceptible to it.

That's very true and it's not something that'll stop anytime soon.

Slits simply continuous because people love to feel among, join some peer groups simply to feel protected, but at the end falling prey to mental illness due to challenges that comes through it.
