A new study has found that elderly people who play video games are emotionally better off compared to those who do not play video games.

Researchers found a direct connection between gaming and better emotional health.
Results from the study found that those who played video games portrayed increased levels of positive mood, social skills and overall well-being as compared to non-gamers who showed higher instances of depression and a pessimistic attitude towards life.
Video games keep the mind active, the brain thinking and the spirit positive. The challenges in the games induce a sprit of positivity and purpose. Perhaps these factors contribute in keeping the elderly emotionally well, more so if they engage themselves in playing video games.
