Abstract

Mental health treatment or emotional well-being treatment assumes an urgent role in caring for the multifaceted and often overlooked difficulties that people face in the area of close to home and mental well-being. This theoretical part delves into the importance of psychological well-being treatment, its developing scene, and its breakthrough effect on the individual and society. Treatment for emotional well-being includes a variety of treatment modalities, from psychotherapy to pharmacological mediation. Its primary goal is to ameliorate side effects, restore utility, and improve the general personal satisfaction of those afflicted with emotional well-being issues. The development of emotional well-being treatment reflects a shift from vilification and disregard to a caring, all-encompassing methodology.

Augmented Reality

Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that overlays digital information or virtual elements onto a real-world environment, enhancing user perception and interaction. It is used in various industries such as healthcare, education, gaming and more. In healthcare, AR is revolutionizing the way doctors diagnose, treat and educate patients by integrating digital information into medical procedures. This allows surgeons to visualize anatomical structures, medical data and treatment plans directly in the context of the patient, increasing accuracy and decision-making. AR is also used in medical training, allowing students to interact with 3D models and simulations, providing an immersive learning experience.
