However, due to the significant gap in mental health service access and geographical limitations, individuals experiencing symptoms of depression are unable to receive timely treatment. With the development of metaverse technology, it is now possible to use metaverse technology for widespread depression treatment. This article proposes some potential ideas for treating depressive tendencies and depression using a combination of traditional cognitive therapy methods and metaverse approaches.
