He's talking more about anxiety in his case at the end. That's fine. Depression is a different beast altogether. Carrying a Nintendo Ds with you isn't going to help you treat your depression, period. It might help temporarily ease symptoms, but I'm skeptical of that being healthy either in the long term, as many with depression will use gaming to escape from dealing with their depression to begin with.

There you go again, talking like there's no hope for these people. Why do you keep bashing something that they find comforting in dark times?

What are you talking about? There is hope - that hope is getting proper TREATMENT. CBT therapy, pharmaceutical therapy, etc. That's actual hope. You cant Chrono Trigger your way out of depression.
