Can Gaming Help Teens Battle Depression?
Teenagers: They're complex creatures. You couldn't pay most of us to relive our teenage years — and probably with good reason. I bet if you thought back to your experience as a teen, you would get sucked into a vortex of emotions spanning the gamut. The years between 12 and 18 are when we do most of our growing hormonally, emotionally, physically and mentally.

Our kids think they have to be the best at everything — academics, sports, activities, relationships, etc. — and if they fail, bad things will happen to them.
If your only interaction with a chatbot is yelling down the phone to one when you're trying to get through to your internet provider or telling Alexa to set a timer for your boiled egg, you might be sceptical about its therapeutic qualities. But artificial intelligence (Ai)-enabled 'therapy bots' have a growing number of satisfied clients. One of the best known here in the UK is Woebot, a US-devised, animated, therapy chatbot that offers CBT-based treatment for depression and anxiety: 'I love Woebot so much. I hope we can be friends forever. I actually feel super good and happy when I see that it "remembered" to check in with me!!!!!,' reads one testimonial on its website, woebot.com, from 'Carolyn, 22'.
Mental health problems are on the rise, with some people in the UK having to wait for up to two years to receive therapeutic treatment.

Welcome to The Mental Breakdown and Psychreg Podcast! Today, Dr Berney and Dr Marshall interview Silja Litvin, a clinical psychology doctoral student from Germany. A child of the digital generation, Silja was looking for ways to use apps and social media to help people suffering from mental issues. She went on to start a company, PsycApps, and created a psychological mobile app that helps users identify and self-manage depression. Building on this idea, she undertook her PhD thesis, thus ensuring it to be evidence based and ethically sound. Now she is venturing into the world of AI, gamification and chatbots to find a way to be able to help people help themselves, launching the beta of her emotional fitness game eQuoo in New Zealand and Australia. eQuoo will be available on all mobile platforms in the United States and the United Kingdom in late May.
