Psikiyatri ve sanal gerçeklik: gelecekteki olası uygulamalar ve kısıtlılıklar

Abstract

Sanal gerçeklik (VR) teknolojisi, psikiyatri alanında son yıllarda büyük ilgi gören bir konudur. Psikiyatrideki mevcut tedavi yöntemlerinin sınırlamaları ve sanal gerçeklik teknolojisinin sunduğu potansiyel, bu alanda yeni ve etkili tedavi yöntemleri arayışını tetiklemiştir. Bireyler VR sayesinde daha kolay, daha rahat ve kendilerini daha güvende hissederek terapiye erişebilirler. Bu derleme makalesi, psikiyatri ve sanal gerçeklik arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyerek, VR'nin psikiyatrik hastalıkların tedavisindeki potansiyelini, kısıtlılıklarını ve gelecekteki olası uygulamalarını ele almaktadır.
