Dr Cheng- Psychiatry, Video Games, and Mental Health

Eric and Natalie talk with special guest psychiatrist, Dr. Cheng of Phoenix Progressive Psychiatric Services about video games and mental health. Dr. Cheng discusses her passion for video games and her advocacy to destigmatize gaming in the psychiatric community. They discuss how to tell healthy vs unhealth gaming habits. Our co-hosts then share some thoughts on both celebrating gaming culture but also getting to the root of problematic patterns for those who may use video games to “hide” from underlying symptoms.
