Abstract
In a first article we highlighted the importance of serious gaming in physical medicine and in rehabilitation. In this second article on the same topic, we discuss the potential impact of serious gaming in the field of mental health. The technical aspects, advantages and disadvantages, limits and pitfalls are rapidly overviewed in different areas such as addiction, anxiety, autism, depression, schizophrenia, attention disorders, post-traumatic stress syndrome, obsessive compulsive disorders and memory disorders. It is noteworthy that the American Food and Drug Administration awarded its precious label for the very first time to a serious game used for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
