Video game therapy shows promise for mental health

This study tested whether a 4-week program using active video games (exergames) on the Nintendo Switch could help adults with mental illness feel better and stay motivated. Twelve participants were split into two groups: one played exergames, the other continued their usual routine. The goal was to see if the games improved quality of life, motivation, and treatment adherence. Results are expected to show that exergames are a fun and effective tool for physical therapy in mental health care.
