Pokémon Go is reportedly helping people with their depression
Since Pokémon Go started dominating our lives last week, it’s had some surprising impacts. People are feeling strange sensations in their legs as they actually walk around, and players are discovering, err, interesting new things around their cities.
But it turns out there might also be unexpected benefits for people suffering from mental health conditions.
As psychologist John M. Grohol reports on PsychCentral, users are taking to social media to report an unexpected improvement in their depression and anxiety as a result of playing the game.
