People with ADHD can have other psychological problems and Virtual Reality and gaming technology can help with those. A lot of people outgrow ADHD, but they can still have other psychological problems (Yeh 78). Some of the problems include “the absence of self-confidence, relationship maladjustments with friends, and incompatibility with social and academic environments” (Bashiri 337). ADHD patients can become completely isolated. Isolation is a catastrophic problem because people won’t or can’t ask for help, and in extreme situations that can lead to suicide. Giving ADHD patients a total experience can help with mental problems (Kinrys 1847). The use of Virtual Reality and gaming technology gives everyone a total experience. Plus, most people enjoy playing Virtual Reality games. Unlike traditional ways of treating ADHD (therapy and prescription drugs or any other treatments), playing Virtual Reality is also very joyful. That means that people will be able to keep up with the treatment. While some people don’t want to take medicine every day, enjoying the experience of Virtual Reality gives the patients not only a positive experience but a progressive recovery in the future.
