A study from East Carolina University has recently shown the effectiveness of casual video games to treat depression and anxiety. The researchers worked with 60 subjects suffering from depression, half the group representing control subjects. The team recorded an average decrease of 57% of depression symptoms, found that the subjects had become less anxious, and noticed that their mood had also improved. Both short-term effects (after 30 minutes of game play) and long-term efects could be recorded (after one month).
Casual video games can this be considered as an option in the treatment of depression and anxiety, either complementary or as a replacement to currently existing therapies.
