First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a simple text-based game could help researchers learn how people make decisions when they feel depressed, anxious, or stressed. 350 adults played the game online for one week, and some received feedback during play. The goal was to see if the game could reveal changes in behavior or mood, not to treat or cure depression.
