23. cannot treat anxiety

24. Psychology and therapy all in all is a very complicated and intellectual way of telling the person they are stupid and irrational and if they don't get better, it is their failing, the therapist or psychiatrist never gives a refund or admits to failing.

25. Yes, and video games in general can teach you in the best way possible but spends time in the worst way possible.

26. What happens when someone falls from that high up in VR? Would the sensation of falling in VR cause a person to fall to the floor for real? Heart attack?

27. I wasted money on a VR headset.It is rubbish.The problem you know it's not real,so you don't take it seriously.All virtual reality is going to fail because it's a fake life,not real.Do the patients say it helps just to say what researchers,its what they want to hear.For years I've been given questionnaires by my employer.My self and others fill them In falsely and even tell mangagers what they What they want to hear just to get rid of them.Do the patient keep researchers happy in the hope of new drugs orin a welfare state,keep benefits.You find tv programmes are made that are rubbish because the comics were seen by directors drinking alcohol.Its why there's so much rubbish on tv,made by " yes men and yes women".Vr is crap!
