Summary

This small study tested a new virtual reality (VR) therapy called VR-Moodboost in 12 teenagers and young adults with depression. The therapy focuses on increasing positive feelings, like joy and interest, rather than just reducing sadness. Over 12 weekly sessions, participants used VR to practice positive experiences, and researchers measured changes in mood and depression symptoms.
