VR treatment of depression, panic disorder, good effect, doctors are optimistic

Virtual Reality (VR) is more widely used than you think! Currently, VR is mostly used for video games. In fact, this technology can also treat depression, panic attacks, etc., and can help old smokers to quit smoking. After the doctor tried it, the effect was wonderful.

VR cures depression and panic disorder

The Guardian reported on the 20th that VR is expected to be a tool for psychotherapy. Chris Brewin, a professor of clinical psychology at University College London, said that VR can treat panic disorder and he bet that VR will become an important part of psychotherapy. Brewin said that he had a self-reporting treatment of 15 melancholic patients with a VR monitor. After one month, 9 of them had improved symptoms of depression.

During the treatment, the patient wears a VR monitor, and the virtual characters seen in front of him simulate the patient's every move. They first turned the patient into an adult in the virtual world and talked to the crying child in the mirror. After that, the roles of the virtual world are exchanged, and the patient becomes a child in the mirror. The adults in the virtual world repeat the healing words that the patient has just said. It is equal to the self-criticism of the patient with sound and action. This practice is called “ "embodiment" (embodiment). Brewin said that when patients become children in the virtual world, they seem to have left the adult body and become children.

Not only the United Kingdom, but the United States also used VR to treat soldiers returning from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Albert Rizzo, director of medical virtual reality at the University of Southern California, says many returning soldiers suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD), which requires patients to imagine traumatic situations, but the main symptom of PTSD is that they don't want to think back, so the results are poor. Now with VR, doctors can create safer virtual scenarios based on patient conditions to help patients reduce symptoms.

In addition, VR has successfully assisted addicts to quit smoking and help spider phobias overcome their fear of spiders. Brewin said that VR monitors and applications may become the same as self-growth books, and people are buying self-growth VR kits to overcome obstacles. This may take time, but it is by no means an unrealistic fantasy.
