Everything is about balance. If the only thing you do 24 hours a day 7 days a week is play videogames, probably your are going to end as a depressed slob...
A new study says the average age of video-game players in the United States is 35, and oh, by the way: They're overweight and tend to be depressed.Suzanne Choney
From survey data of 552 adults in the Seattle-Tacoma area?
I'm twenty nine and depressed. I was depressed when I was Twenty. I'veconsidered putting a 9x19mm 147 grain+PSoft point hollow pointin my head several times.I've probably been depressed my entire life, I just don'tremember the details. So what?If reallife didn't suck so muchwe wouldn't watch TV, movies and play video games. We need these things to escape the suckage.

What? So since I'll say what most people won't I need help?
What's wrong with gaming exactly? So, you're 35 and because you label yourself as a "gamer" is somehow pathetic. You could call yourself your job title, but I realize people that do that are more than likely as depressed as everyone else. Either way I call bull.
[QUOTE="dreDREb13"]They're not depressed. I've seen the gates of hell, and I know to love life. They're not depressed. Now you know I'm going to have to ask you, just how did you see the gates of hell?

FYI if you ever stop posting here I'm going to assume that you committed suicide. :(
Hey I'd be pretty depressed too if I was 35, obese, and played games all day. They did a study on adult gamers and though they most likely skewed some facts to get what they wanted to report, this part is definitely true judging by the amount of girl advice/life problem threads I see on this board: "male video-game players spend more time using the Internet and rely more on Internet-community social support."
27 here and not depressed. Well I had my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday and so I cant really eat much today. There is a pizza from pizza hut in the fridge just taunting me!!!!! SO maybe a little at the moment.
Hahaha! What a stupid study. I'm 22 and the happiest I've ever been. Aka, I am at a normal mood state - not happy or depressed. My entire life I've been depressed, but that's because of a chemical imbalance, not because of any inferiority I may think I have like this study seems to want people to believe. Like not having friends or anything. I only have like 1 or 2 friends, and I am happy with that. Social interactions drain me. I value my alone time much more, and time with my girlfriend. Any other social interaction completely drains me.
Video games usually make me less depressed, not moreso. I wish I had more time to play, because I find the level of my mood is directly proportional to the amount of time I get with a controller in my hands.
Personally one wouldn't know depression if they weren't exposed to the social world to begin with. School gave me a severe case of depression that rears its ugly head every time I get drunk. -_-
It's a survey of 552 adults in the Seattle-Tacoma area.I could conduct a survey of 552 adults in Sierra Leone and conclude that nobody plays video games. :lol:
Yeah dude just look at your pic and sig, i could tell you that.. COME ON DUDE LIGHTEN UP.[QUOTE="MagnumPI"]

What? So since I'll say what most people won't I need help? I understand the last thing you said because I'm sure a lot of the people on here who said they weren't depressed are. As for me, 19 weight 140 height 5'11 .. Sometimes i feel super down about life and where it's headed.. but i get over it because life is a terrible thing to waste, you have been given a gift. Cherish it. That whole life is too short saying is bullsaht, It's long and full over many great things you might now be aware of. So for all you people who maybe be over weight or depressed or clinically insane, fawk what anyone else says or thinks. Your you, your own person and your beautiful no matter what anyone says. Love life, it's meant to be enjoyed, don't throw it away *points to his profile picture* :D.
