Virtual Reality Cognitive Remediation for Mood disorders: RCT pilot study

Abstract

Introduction: Mood disorders interrupt well-being and participation in everyday activities through, among others, a mechanism of cognitive impairments. Ample evidence was found for cognitive remediation (CR) effectiveness in various mental health conditions. However, its contribution to improvement of functional outcomes in mood disorders was little investigated. Virtual Reality (VR)- based CR has a potential to overcome limitations by enabling training on daily-life tasks in ecological environments.
