Playing video games won’t get your homework done, but they can distract you from whatever’s getting you down, at least in the short term. Some people find it helpful to almost live out someone else’s life through a game, while others just use it as a way to switch off their brain for a while.

And recent studies are showing that playing games can actually help with your problem solving skills, as well as being used for treatment for both physical and mental illnesses. Who’d have thought it?!
