Stress can cause an unwanted panic attack that will cloud the mind, making it much more difficult to find solutions to even the simplest of problems. Playing a video game is actually a great way to get your mind off of your problems so you can go back later and face the issue without a panic attack clouding your ability to focus.

​

Here are some great places to find free games:

​

A) The Microsoft Store offers free games to download and play.

B) The Playstation Store offers great free games.

C) Google Play Store also carries free games for you to choose from.

​

Ultimately, go to any one of these places, type in free game and you are sure to find something that will grab your attention and help you unwind.

​

Having been diagnosed with a panic disorder, I totally understand how having a panic attack can freeze up the mind but I have found that playing a video game for a little bit can help me calm down to think a little more clearly about a problem.

​

However, if the panic attack is very severe, seek emergency medical help right away. Additionally, there are free community programs that help with mental disorders caused by chemical imbalances. 

​

Asking for mental health needs is no different than taking something for a headache. You don't have to suffer and you do have free options to help you feel better.
