Playing Tetris might reduce PTSD flashbacks

Oxford psychologists have recently concluded that playing Tetris might serve to lessen the effects of post traumatic stress disorder [1].

Playing ‘Tetris’ after traumatic events could reduce the flashbacks experienced in tetrispost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), preliminary research by Oxford University psychologists suggests.

If this early-stage work continues to show promise, it could inform new clinical interventions for use immediately after trauma to prevent or lessen the flashbacks that are the hallmark symptom of PTSD.
