Summary/Abstract: The present work represents a systematic review that aims to consolidate information from the specialized literature on the treatment of generalized anxiety using virtual reality. Virtual reality (VR) has become a valuable tool in psychotherapeutic treatments due to its ability to create controlled and immersive environments. These environments allow patients to experience and manage situations that cause them anxiety, in a safe and controlled manner. In the context of treating generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), VR is used for gradual exposure to anxiety-inducing stimuli, providing a framework in which patients can learn to control their anxious reactions without the risk of being overwhelmed. This study analyzed 124 specialized articles on the topic: "Treatment of generalized anxiety with the help of virtual reality." After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 9 articles were included in the analysis.
