Computer gaming against depression

Wordle: gaming
Speak with a partner: 
Do you like computer games?
Do you play them?
What kind of games / Which games do you like?
How much time do you spend gaming?
Have you used any games in edutainment, i.e for educational purposes?
Did you like them? Did you learn with them?
Do you think you could learn from them?
What characteristics would they have to have to be appealing? 

Now read the introductory article in Health Check on FANTASY COMPUTER GAME GOOD FOR DEPRESSION.
It says: "players learn behaviours which are known to protect against depression". How do you envisage this? How could it work? What would the game have to teach you? 

What do you think about it? Does it convince you? Could you imagine it works?

Now listen to the programme (minutes 6:07-12:15).
Give a short summary of the programme.
