Video games bad for mental health?

My pdoc told me vg may be bad because they cause stress but that’s all, if it’s a chill game it’s alright.

yeah especially because Senua suffers from Psychosis herself and I’m not supposed to watch any material like that my shrink said

I haven’t had a problem with video games, personally. If there is specific content you would find triggering, definitely avoid it. I don’t play horror games because I get too immersed and integrate it into my reality, but every other genre is fine for me. It’s all about discovering what you find entertaining versus what causes stress and issues.

I play a metric ■■■■ ton of games when I’m not feeling like I CBA with anything. One week I can be a 6-8 hours a day gamer to nil the next.

Eve online is my current big thing, it allows me to be downright savage with limited IRL conciquences lol

I too play video games. Senua’s Sacrifice looks cool. Not sure I could play it comfortably though. I’ve been playing Fifa 18 mostly lately.

Its all about balance. Limit you time.

I like VG’s but things like Resident Evil is a no. :innocent:

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a fantastic fantastic game. HOWEVER, it triggered me into a mini breakdown that lasted 2 1/2 months because it mimics sz and psychosis so clearly.

Be careful with this game.
