Eva Cid, the brilliant Mondo Píxel contributor, will lead us through a brief tour of different points of convergence  of mental illness and video games, how insanity is portrayed- and all the mythology that has socially and traditionally has magnified and adorned it- in the particular fiction of video games, identifying certain constants regarding the visual shaping of insanity in this medium, and, conversely, mentioning some examples of video games applied therapeutically to the mentally ill.
