Every emotion has been pathologized, every method of coping has been medicalized.

It used to be if people felt sad or anxious it was just a normal thing you needed to learn to deal with, now it's a 'disease' you need to be 'cured' from. Our society is convinced that emotions can't be managed without external means; no one is capable of just getting over anything anymore.

If I said alcohol helped me through a tough time, or heroin 'saved my life' people would understand that this was me justifying unhealthy habits. Videogames aren't quite on the same level, but to assign healing powers to what are basically luxury entertainment consumption products is just silly.
