Virtual Reality Archives
Summary: Virtual reality (VR) isn't just for video games anymore—it is becoming a powerful tool for your brain and mental health! Recent studies show that using VR can lower anxiety for stressed parents, help people overcome a fear of public speaking in just 30 minutes, and even boost brain power in students. It is also being used to spot adult ADHD, treat depression, and help with body image issues. Interestingly, one study found that people with psychopathic traits don't get anxious in VR at all!
