Abstract
This chapter delves into the cutting-edge domain of extended reality (XR) technology and its profound implications for mental health treatment and support. XR, encompassing immersive virtual and augmented reality experiences, has emerged as a powerful tool with the capability to revolutionize therapeutic practices and open new dimensions within the field of mental health.

By allowing individuals to immerse themselves in alternate realities, XR creates an environment conducive to addressing various psychological challenges, such as anxiety, trauma, and social difficulties.
