Mood disorders can have a significant psychological impact on many groups of people. It causes severe disease burden and can lead to many effects that decrease the quality of life of an individual. Video games are popular forms of entertainment which can help improve a person’s mood and decrease their depressive symptoms.

We have performed preliminary testing showing encouraging results in improving peoples’ moods.
