Abstract:
Depression， as one of the most common mental disorders， has imposed a heavy burden on individuals and society due to its increasing incidence rate. Exploring innovative treatment methods has become a research hotspot in recent years. Virtual reality （VR） technology， with its advantages such as immersion， interactivity and scalability， provides a new intervention approach for the treatment of depression. This article reviews the existing clinical research evidence， deeply analyzes the clinical application and research progress of VR technology in the treatment of depression， objectively assesses its clinical efficacy and potential limitations， with the aim of providing a reference basis for subsequent research. ［Funded by Key Research and Development Program Project of Human Province （number， 2021SK2029）］
