Abstract

López del Hoyo et al collections reported the meta verse based on the virtual reality, augmented reality and artificial intelligence could be used in the therapy of mental health, although there were still some challenges. This manuscript reported that the meta verse is a prospective method to improve the prognosis of mental health problems.

Keywords: Metaverse; Mental health; Virtual reality; Artificial intelligence; Editorial

Core Tip: We cannot fully confirm the specific situation of its future development, nor can we fully predict all the problems that the metaverse may cause. But what we can confirm is that in order to continue to operate and develop in human society, it is necessary to find a proper balance between the reality and the metaverse era.
