According to a recent study by the prestigious London School of Economics, Pokemon GO, an augmented reality game launched in 2016 by NIANTIC, would help fight anxiety and depression. The study examined the launch of the game, which took place in 2016: it was noted that in the areas where Pokémon Go had already been released, web searches related to topics such as depression, stress and anxiety recorded a decline, something that did not happen in the regions.
where the game had not yet been available. The goal of the study was therefore to demonstrate how a video game like Pokémon GO can be useful against all those mild forms of depression, namely those for which the intervention of specialists is not required.
One of the main reasons why Pokémon GO would be positive is that it pushes users to stay in contact with other trainers and to spend time outdoors, not to mention the physical exercise dictated by having to walk around in order to be able to catch new Pokémon.
The study also highlighted how the effect was in any case limited in time. It is likely that the explosion of the global phenomenon in the summer of 2016 created a climate of excessive euphoria which subsequently went to normalize.
