Video games might be able to help conditions like anxiety and depression
A study from New Zealand used a specially designed game called Sparks to help teenagers dealing with depression.
They found that the remission rate was significantly higher in the Sparks arm, 43,7% than in the 'treatment as usual arm' 26,7.
Translation Teenagers who played video games were significantly more likely to have their depression cured.
CAVEATS
