Boblee Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 The way video games are going to affect you is completely different from how money is going to affect it. When it down to helping with depression, it can go either ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a lot to make money and with that being said, whom it doesn't work for, it wouldn't. You're somewhat right, it takes real hard work to earn any amount of money. That's why when you have it you've added more happiness to your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 That's why I don't feel a supposed bad source of money wouldn't have any positive effects on one whom money might fix his or her depression. It's just like saying a good or bad game can't cure depression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 If I'm ever depressed at any point in my life, I wouldn't be looking at playing video games as means to get better because I doubt if it's going to be successful in fixing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Depression has its own level, when I'm very depressed maybe remembering chaotic times that causes me emotional trauma, then it means video games wouldn't relieve my stress or pains at that time.

Heatman Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Dealing with depression in adolescent ages is different from how it is handled in adults/elderly people. I always advise people who tell me about them being depressed to always try something new, get a routine, fight negative thoughts and take on some responsibility. They will definitely get better because playing just games wouldn't be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egghead Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 When I am disturbed, I play games and after 1 hour of gaming, I feel relaxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that being disturbed as you put it is far different from being depressed right? They aren't the same thing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that feeling depressed and suffering from depression are the same thing mate but I'm willing to be schooled on this if you think not.

Cortyie Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Video games needs you to be concentrated and gets you involved in the process. You cannot distract - your eyes and hands are busy during game. So it a double stimulation. But what to do when your favorite game is over? It could be a reason for a deep sadness...

That's why there are millions of games out there if not more, so you can always have another favorite game and hit it right off with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so involved in the story. Ending the game for me is like stopping talking to my best friend.

Take for instance how I was imprinted on by Red Dead Redemption 2 especially by the character of Arthur. Cortyie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 RDR-2 it's full of inspiration, I was full of awe when I watched through a gamer for the first time playing it. That was how I got into playing it, I played it first time in PS3. I am yet to play for PS4, such really eased my stress back then and improved my life span, because I was happy playing the game xD.
