Good news for those who have an addiction to Tetris like me: playing Tetris can reduce the flashbacks caused by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
British doctors tested PTSD patients, letting them play Tetris for 10 minutes, and found that those patients had fewer flashbacks than those patients who did nothing. With fewer flashbacks, people suffering from PTSD may be able to sleep and concentrate easier. Tetris also showed to not wipe out the memory of the traumatic event, but let the patient make sense of the event, without disturbing them.
A study that is actually useful! I have met many people with PTSD {my uncle being one of them}, so anything that can help them is wonderful.
