All he needs is a virtual reality helmet in front of his eyes.\u00a0The patient will typically be confronted with a situation that causes him to lose his means only to discover that he has the resources to control his irrational fear \u2013 whether of people,\u00a0spiders\u00a0or aircrafts ...<\/p> <p>More impressive still, sitting in front of a screen can also be used in case of heavy mental illness.\u00a0The experience of a London psychiatrist, Professor Julian Leff, has shown that people with schizophrenia - especially in situations where drugs have failed \u2013 can also be helped by the computer!<\/p> <p>The exercise here was to put the patient face to face with the \"voice\" that only he could hear and which in turn makes his life unbearable.<\/p> <p>Once a sketch is drawn to give a \"face\" to the voice, the confrontations begin. Orchestrated by Dr. Leff , he guides his patient from another room and lends his voice (processed by software) to the virtual character.\u00a0A clever role play in the space of only six weeks gave encouraging results and the auditory hallucinations of the volunteer patients have become less invasive.\u00a0In three of these patients, they have even disappeared altogether!<\/p> <p>For these promising results, Dr. Leff\u2019s protocol will be conducted again, this time on 142 patients and constituting a further step in the invention of screen therapies.<\/p> <p>Welcome to the future!<\/p>  <p><em>Mathieu Rached<\/em><\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Role Play and virtual reality can help patients with phobias or schizophrenia.
