Abstract

Although psychological, social, and emotional well-being, collectively known as mental health, has not always been a primary focus, it has become increasingly important in recent years. With mental health being valued more and digital transformation becoming prevalent across various fields, there have been notable advancements in integrating mental health into the digital era. In this paper, we offer an overview of the digitization of mental health in recent years, more specifically through immersive technologies. We explore the benefits and challenges of integrating these technologies into clinical practice and highlight tools that could revolutionize the field. We propose directions for further research and emphasize that while digital advancements are valuable, immersive technologies should be used to enhance rather than replace traditional practices, always preferring a human-centered approach.
