Tetris May Help Reduce Trauma From Accidents. Yes, Really.

The human memory can be a curse, as well as a blessing. After a very stressful incident, we can suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. In PTSD, triggering memories or sensations can bring back vivid memories of the traumatic incident, along with intense negative emotions. Current treatments for PTSD include therapy and medications.
