Dungeons and Dragons as a form of therapy
More than 50 million people are estimated to have played Dungeons and Dragons since its creation in 1975.
Popularised in the Netflix series, "Stranger Things", the game is also being used by therapists when they are treating clients.
Newshour's Celia Hatton spoke to one of such therapist, Dr Megan Connell, a psychologist in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the author of a book, "Tabletop Role-Playing Therapy: A Guide for the Clinician聽Game Master".
