In reply to Does anyone play video games to help mood?, posted by Raisinb on June 3, 2012, at 15:44:01
Great question! I've always loved video games going back to when I got my Commodore 64. I think they can be therapeutic, as long as it doesn't consume your life and become an addiction. I think it can boost mood, there's something going on with the dopamine I believe. But I have to be careful, if I'm depressed and I start to spend more time on the games, I feel like I am using it as a "distraction" from how I feel and then I don't really end up working through it to feel better I just keep distracting myself...herpills
