Video: Introducing Low Batteries, a series about mental health and gaming

[Administrator]

I love video games. I also suffer from depression and anxiety. Written down like that, there doesn't seem seem to be much linking those two statements; however, as is this case for a lot of people worldwide, video games play a fairly significant part in how I perceive and process my own mental health difficulties.
With that in mind, I decided to create Low Batteries - a (semi) regular series discussing different aspects of mental health through the lens of video games. This first episode keeps things fairly broad, discussing video games as a coping mechanism for those suffering from anxiety, depression and low mood. In future episodes I hope to tackle more specific topics and give individual titles the analysis they deserve, but for now I hope you like what I've done so far.
Suggestions for future topics are, of course, welcome.
