Does anyone play video games to help mood?

Posted by Raisinb on June 3, 2012, at 15:44:01

I've been reading a book called Reality is Broken, by Jane McGonigal, in which she indirectly suggests that our rising rates of depression are partly due to a lack of engagement and sense of success in the real world, the kind of things video games give us. This really interests me as I play a lot of games primarily because it's intensely therapeutic. Anyone else?
