The general take
The Hidden Brain host discovered that playing Resident Evil actually helped them recover from a panic attack, despite expecting the horror game to make anxiety worse. They found that diving into the scary, violent game had a calming, therapeutic effect instead of amplifying their distress.

…discussing how horror games help manage anxiety and panic attacks
“The time I discovered this, I'd had a panic attack, and I went to play whatever game I was playing at the time. Usually something lighthearted, but this time the game happened to be Resident Evil. I was afraid that it might make it worse because it's such a scary, violent horror game, but it had the opposite effect.”
