A recent study, conducted by PopCap Games, concluded that video games might have the potential to help people with certain mental disorders, such as depression. Researchers hypothesized that one reason for the apparent mental health benefits of video games is that depression and other disorders involve systematic patterns of thought and self-doubt, and that games can distract people and put them in a different mental zone.
Studies are also underway at The Institute of HeartMath to determine if soldiers who learn to control their cardiac rhythms by playing certain video games are better able to perform efficiently under pressure and whether they recover more quickly from traumatic events.
