An analysis of this contemporary clinical manifestation leads us to new expressions of melancholy. These young people envision death as a certainty, in the image of what they experience in virtual worlds through video games. In fact, those regular practices besiege their imagination until they confuse it with the consensual world. Death, which has been “experienced” so often, seems to become a viable alternative to engagement in adult society.
