But those aren't trials on this game, so can you really make a statement like that?

[stan_kirdey]

good point, but I am not saying this game treats any condition

[personjerry]

It seems to be what your phrasing is suggesting, so it's disingenuous at best

> I made a video game to help reduce stress and anxiety

Yes, you are.

[LawTalkingGuy]

No, that's not a condition, that's a symptom. I don't need a study to say that pancakes reduce hunger.

[AlecSchueler]

Would you need a study to say pancakes reduce anxiety? I'm not sure I follow your logic or the distinctions you're making.

[LawTalkingGuy]

Something can reduce anxiety and yet not cure "the APA definition of Anxiety Disorder" or whatever. Also, whether something is a cure is always a personal question. Even if petting kittens is a proven cure it's not going to work for you if you're allergic to them.

For pancakes, definitely we'd need a study. They're not commonly accepted as being able to reduce anxiety.

Anxiety is anxiety, a feeling. Anxiety disorders are what you mean perhaps?

Then there's no mention of the latter.

You need to revise your title, it needs to say "...may help to reduce..."
