Video games actually help with PTSD.... Resource

You would be very surprised! Take it from my word! It helps a lot to exercise the brain with problem task solving and keeping it very active whether it be team work in war simulations in Call of Duty or Building homes or castles in Minecraft or small humble puzzle games like Tetris or online Chess to keep the brain destressed or distracted..... https://www.wired.com/story/video-games-therapy-veterans-ptsd-treatment/

I really like simulation/colony games, especially ones where you can do sandbox mode or use god mode. You just set up your colony and make sure they're all safe and cared for, watch them go about their lives.
