My Own Game

As a psychology major, I have been told many times that there are situations in which some patients are misdiagnosed and are given the wrong treatment. Many of the disorders may overlap or have similar characteristics, which may be difficult for psychologists and psychiatrists to accurately diagnose a patient. Therefore, my game would focus on having the player become the psychologist and see if he or she can correctly diagnose the patient. The game would involve the patient coming into therapy sessions, and providing the player different choices to choose from. The more correct diagnoses the player makes, the more points he or she gets. In a sense, this would be like a House episode, in which the characters are constantly trying out different solutions in order to get to the right one. This game would not only be fun to play, but also educational, specifically for those interested in the career field. Whether other people will be interested in playing it is a different story...
