Tetris has helped doctors in the UK alleviate post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) caused by stressful work during the pandemic. This was reported by daily mail.
Previous research has shown that playing Tetris activates the area of the brain responsible for traumatic memories. The new study involved doctors suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. They developed it due to exhausting work during the pandemic. Then they had to work very hard and observe the deaths every day.
Doctors were asked to recall a haunting memory or thought and then immediately play Tetris. This therapy reduced the number of traumatic memories per week from 14 to one. The patients were followed up six months after treatment and their condition continued to improve.
Playing Tetris after triggering an obsessive thought makes the unpleasant memory less vivid, scientists explain.
