Virtual Reality is an advanced and effective technology that is revolutionizing the world of mental health. More than 20 years of scientific evidence validate its therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of anxiety disorders and some symptoms associated with depression, showing better results than traditional therapies.
It is a non-invasive and safe technique that is based on the projection of interactive 3D graphics through a VR device (glasses and headphones). The placement of the helmet isolates external stimuli transporting the user to a different environment from the one at that moment. It is in this “virtual” environment, designed by and for healthcare professionals, that the most appropriate therapeutic procedure is applied to the patient’s characteristics.
Virtual Reality Therapy can effectively treat multiple disorders including:
- Phobias
- Generalized Anxiety Disorders
- Social Anxiety
- Body Image Disorders
- Teaching Relaxation and Mindfulness Skills.
