ABSTRACT
With the increase in mental health disorders, alternative approaches to treatment have become essential. This paper provides an overview of how VR technology has been integrated into the treatment of a wide spectrum of mental health problems, such as OCD, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and social anxiety disorder. It demonstrates, through a small number of different empirical studies and clinical trials, how good VR supports the improvement of traditional treatment modalities such as exposure therapy and CBT. The findings suggest that VR offers a good platform for therapeutic practices, improving patient outcomes significantly.
