💨 Abstract

The author discusses the positive impact of video gaming on mental health, drawing from personal experience with bipolar disorder. Gaming provides a sense of familiarity and safety, keeps the mind active, and releases serotonin through enjoyable experiences. Games like "Brain Training" sharpen cognitive skills, while "Mario Kart" and "Ring Fit Adventure" combine fun and fitness. First-person shooters offer a safe outlet for stress.
