D&D has helped various members of my group cope with suicidal ideation, divorce, eating disorder, social anxiety, and depression.
Not saying it was the best Avenue by any means, but it was effective for the six of us! Maybe it's just the circle of friends and non-judgmental atmosphere (unless it comes to the GOD AWFUL decisions we make in game).
- pavel_lishin 3y agoI think one of the major draws of D&D is that it lets you spend time with friend and acquaintances in a fun, yet emotionally charged situation. It's a third place. I'm guessing this is also something that sports fans get out of watching games together, where the emotional highs and lows are important - but in D&D, you and your choices & actions are the source of those highs and lows, instead of watching someone else make those decisions.

- em-bee 3y agocircle of friends and non-judgmental atmosphere for a lot of smaller problems this is all that is needed. it is also a place to explore your personality and share it with others. someone who can play a kind and considerate D&D character can also be kind and considerate in real life. i am not even sure if one can play such positive traits if one does not have them in real life.
