This is the official group for gamers with mental health issues. I am a sufferer of Depression, Anxeity and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and an avid gamer. I am being encouraged by the Mental Illness Fellowship of South Australia (MIFSA) to train and become a Peer-Worker to help others sharing my struggle.

In Australia there are these emergency helplines:

LifeLine: 131 144
Suicide Call Back Service: 1300 659 467
SuicideLine: 1300 659 467

I encourage gamers outside Australia to post helplines & services for their respective contries as well so this group can assist worldwide.

Thank You and be healthy.
