I think tabletop RPGs are a great antidote to depression. All that social interaction and outward focus. Online chat/text-based real-time gaming too, to a lesser extent.
Yeah, I agree with this also. I'm not starting a RPG vs. video games debate, and I'm not saying that video games lead to introversion - but introverted people are probably more drawn to video games than RPG's simply because of the social interaction aspect of tabletop games. Now, RPG's in and of themselves aren't an antidote for depression, depression is much more complicated than that, but I think the social interaction that tabletop RPG's provide is a good thing.
