So this is an interesting thing, and I'll relate it to like our DSM is our Bible for diagnosing. Can you state what DSM stands for? Diagnostic Statistic Manual. Thank you. And so when we go and look at that, it says what we call prevalence rates, which is how often do these things actually come up.

So the highest prevalence rates are depression and anxiety, and they basically do an estimation, and I'm using air quotes here, estimation of how much the population actually has these diagnoses. And those things, every time they come out with a new one, range anywhere from 4% to 7% of the population for anxiety and depression.

When we look at that and what we call only focusing on one aspect of it, they're using it usually as a way of coping with the world, with something that's happening, with their own lifestyles. So is it prevalent? Yes. Is it only in that area? No, is what I would say. I would say it's also out other places, but other people use different coping mechanisms. Some people would work.

So they go, people will go through whatever's most comfortable for them, whatever's helped them in the past, whatever's going to help them go for the future. And that's, is it gaming?

I think it's also dependent upon what the person wants to do, how they use the stuff in the past and what works. There's some people out there that are like, I don't really care for video gaming, but I love anime. And so they'll go watch anime instead.
