Virtual reality is now being tested for anxiety and PTSD treatment. Could gaming-based therapies soon become mainstream tools for emotional healing?
 
I think so. Those VR experiences are very deep. Imagine using it to face your fears or even relax your mind. I saw one clip where VR helped people manage anxiety really well. To be honest, I was totally shocked. It just needs proper experts to guide the whole thing well.
 
I think VR and gaming-based therapies have real potential for mainstream mental health support. They can safely simulate stressful scenarios, provide exposure therapy, and teach coping skills in immersive ways. With proper guidance, these tools could complement traditional therapy rather than replace it.
