Abstract
Major depressive disorder is a common but serious mood disorder. It can cause severe symptoms that affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working. Depression is among the major causes of global disease burden. Video games can help to improve a person's mood, therefore improving their depressive symptoms. Here, we design and develop a prototype VR game to help people with depressive disorders improve their mood. We did preliminary tests showing encouraging results in improving people's moods.
