A groundbreaking study from Johns Hopkins Children's Center reveals promising results for game based mental health interventions in youth. The research, published in JAMA Pediatrics, analyzed 27 trials with nearly 3,000 participants aged 6-17. Most exciting? Video games targeting ADHD and depression showed meaningful symptom reduction, particularly in structured settings. With 20% of U.S. children facing significant mental health challenges, these findings suggest gaming could serve as a valuable bridge while waiting for traditional therapy services.

Psychology Today takes a look at how video games and fantasy sports are impacting men’s health. Conversations surrounding mental health have gained significant traction in recent years. Both video games and fantasy sports have emerged as popular pastimes that can offer a myriad of mental health benefits, especially for men. “As society continues to evolve in its understanding of mental health, it is essential to recognize the positive aspects of leisure activities like video games and fantasy sports. Encouraging men to engage in these pursuits can help combat the stigma surrounding mental health and promote a more supportive environment for emotional expression and connection.” Find your medicinal media and your tribe, connection is medicine. ♥️ #mentalhealth #videogames #fantasysports #powerofplay #powerofconnection https://lnkd.in/gd3b3KEp

Several recent articles focus on DeepWell’s ability to address mental health and related physical stress. Popsugar (PS) journalist Jade Esmeralda, recently took the time to evaluate DeepWell DTx’s Zengence video game, really digging in on how and why the game addresses stress and hypertension. Article Link: https://lnkd.in/gGXQQtzt Similarly Longevity Technology wrote the attached article and included a great meta study of the VR stress reduction applications that concluded these types of interventions show great promise in addressing mental and physical health symptoms related to stress. I am very proud of the progress DeepWell has made in this direction and excited for the next releases that will more seemlessly blend game play and therapeutic design.

To truly understand the brain, we need to look at how it responds and evolves over time, influenced by our environment, experiences, and daily habits. “If you’ve ever groaned at the notion of getting out of bed for an early morning workout, or grumbled at the thought of losing a night’s sleep due to a late-night Netflix binge, your brain is echoing your sentiments to the activities. In a remarkable and lengthy study, scientists embarked on a fascinating journey to understand this relationship. They closely monitored a single person’s brain activity, physical activity, mood and lifestyle for a whopping five months.” Biggest take away from this unique study: “If you thought a restless night or an intense workout only had immediate, short-term effects, think again. These experiences could still be impacting your brain — and your attention, cognition, and memory — well into the next week.” The study goes on to confirm that some activities cause ripples in brain performance for up to 2 weeks. This explains so much of what previously looked like unrelated effects and behaviours.🔥 #brainhealth #playbetterstaybetter #stress #anxiety #mentalhealth
