Abstract

Preliminary research study to evaluate the potential and need for virtual reality in the mental health sector specifically focusing on the treatment of agoraphobia. A survey was sent to numerous partici-pants that have been diagnosed and currently receiving treatment for agoraphobia. Results have concluded there is a demand for virtual reality treatment for agoraphobia and this in turn can lead to future studies into the VR therapy.
