| | Video games can help combat depression in elders!!! | | Hi friends,As per the research, regular video game playing can help combat depression in older people effectively, a new research has claimed. Scientists found that use of “exergames” — video games that combine game play with exercise — significantly improve mood and mental health-related quality of life in older people suffering from subsyndromal depression (SSD).SSD is much more common than major depression in 60-plus people and is associated with substantial suffering, functional disability, and increased use of costly medical services,
In the study, 19 participants with SSD ranging in age from 63 to 94 played an exergame on the Nintendo Wii Video game system during 35-minute sessions, three times a week. The participants reported high satisfaction and rated the exergames on various attributes including enjoyment, mental effort, and physical limitations. | |

Shoppers are finding lots of PlayStation 2s and Microsoft
Xbox 360s, expected to do well as substitutes for the newest machines that are in short supply.
