Scientists at Harvard University have developed an app that focuses on breaking cycles of ruminative thinking, a key contributor to depression.

The study by Professor Moshe Bar and colleagues finds that users of the app experience significant, lasting improvements in mood after multiple gaming sessions.

The app consists of five mini-games, each structured to engage the mind in positive, thought-disrupting activities.
