No, they can't. There's no cure for anxiety or depression, they can't be beaten. The most you can do is try and contain their effects, and playing games is definitely NOT the best way of doing that. By stating that "games can beat depression and anxiety", DYKG is doing a disservice to society, discouraging people from seeking medical help.
Games can help suppress the symptoms, as can anything that stimulates your brain, but they can also enhance them. I myself avoid playing horror games because I'm afraid of having panic attacks, as it has already happened once.
