Abstract
Virtual Reality Therapy (VRT) is an innovative therapeutic approach that utilizes immersive virtual environments to treat a range of psychological and physical conditions. By engaging patients in controlled, simulated experiences, VRT offers unique opportunities for exposure therapy, skills training, and relaxation techniques. This article explores the principles of Virtual Reality Therapy, its applications in various mental health disorders, the underlying mechanisms that contribute to its effectiveness, challenges in implementation, and future directions. As technology continues to advance, VRT has the potential to revolutionize traditional therapeutic practices and improve patient outcomes in mental health care.
