In their journal article describing the results, Colder Carras and the two other VA researchers in the study, Dr. Kurrie Wells and Colleen Gillespie, identified themselves as being affiliated with Veterans Integrated Service Network 4, which includes areas in Pennsylvania and surrounding states. In the study, the video game genres included sports, puzzles, gambling, role-player action, fantasy settings, and shooter games.
The benefits, she says, stemmed more from the connections the Veterans made with other video game players; the distractions they created for themselves by playing the games and removing their focus, for example, from alcohol or drugs; and the meaning they derived from the games.
So right off the bat, you have two very different ways that players can experience playing together. Each one gives a really different experience. Brain's 'error messages' may hold key to PTSD resiliency.
A look ahead to the future of rehabilitation. In the interviews, the participants reported that the games helped with several areas related to recovery: managing moods and relieving stress; adaptive coping distraction, control, symptom substitution ; eudaimonic well-being confidence, insight, role functioning ; and socializing.
At times, excessive use of games led to life problems or feeling addicted, but some Veterans with disabilities felt the advantages of extreme play outweighed these problems.
One of the questions Colder Carras asked the Veterans in the interview is if they thought shooter games could be bad for them. Ten of the 15 men in the study described a shooter video game as one of their favorites. Shaming just makes them harder for psychologists to identify, highlighting the need for more research. This article was originally published in the October issue of Popular Science. Republicans and Democrats have both made appearances in Glasgow for the giant climate conference.
The quasar J is 13 billion light-years away from Earth. But it still can reveal a lot about our own universe. She said: "Even when I wasn't playing, during everyday life, it felt easier. Experts said more research was needed on the therapeutic value of gaming, but there was "scope" for it to help mental health problems.
Ms Manley, a mother-of-two, had tried to kill herself a couple of times: "I was extremely low, my anxiety was through the roof and I was very depressed. But she said her anxiety and depression "seemed to ease off a bit while I was playing". She explained that her anxiety was "easier to cope with because I'm not face-to-face with somebody" when talking online. I'm far more relaxed and happy when I'm online. At one point, she would play for many hours every day, while holding down a job and being at university.
She focuses on how video games can have an impact on human cognition and behaviour. But Dr Murzyn added that evidence of the self-driven therapeutic value of video gaming was "uncertain" and there was a need for more research. There was a minor risk of addiction in gaming but "that's the case for pretty much every case of self-medication", she explained. She knew then that games might be able to provide the kind of structure transitioning veterans needed, and she directed her research toward finding that out.
Other researchers suggest that therapy through PE prolonged exposure and CPT cognitive processing therapy have proven immensely helpful to vets. Another nonprofit, Warfighter Engaged provides special gaming controllers, makes prosthetic enhancements, and offers a variety of options for greater mobility to severely wounded and handicapped vets, from Walter Reed.
Its founder, Ken Jones, an engineer by trade, speaks on how the organization came to be. I started making household utensil holders, prosthetics, and hygiene equipment for vets who lost some or all use of their limbs. Jones started visiting him for the next two months.
Jones had been going to hackathons for years before being approached by someone who worked at Microsoft. He asked me if I had any ideas for improving the design of Xbox controllers for the severely disabled. It was mostly just simple things, at first, just add a button or two. Playing video games was a major plus for them.
So many people are alive today because of these technologies. Many would have committed suicide, otherwise. John Peck served from to as a sergeant in the Marines. And people get surprised when I say that.
They put me on suicide watch while I was in the hospital, and I suffered from general depression afterward. Everything seemed clear. I told my sergeant something, took one step forward, and an IUD blew off my right arm above the elbow, both legs below the knee, then a fungus ate my left leg up to the pelvic muscle.
I suffered a traumatic brain injury. Due to complications, they later amputated my left arm. I even flat-lined at one point. Two arm transplants. Using a prosthetic arm, I was playing with remote-controlled cars. But getting used to my limitations was a full-body workout.
