Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This narrative literature review examines the integration of virtual reality (VR) as a support tool for cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) across anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addictions, and autism spectrum disorders. The authors summarize findings from peer-reviewed studies over the past 15 years, noting that VR-assisted CBT shows effectiveness comparable to traditional methods in anxiety disorders while offering specific benefits like behavioral activation in depression and exposure training in addiction. The resource highlights that evidence is strongest for anxiety conditions but remains limited and heterogeneous for other diagnoses, calling for further high-quality research.
