“…Для предотвращения ранних стрессовых реакций, перерастаю щих в хроническое ПТСР, особенно у лиц с высоким риском, необходима своевременно начатая терапия. Современные вмешательства для управления стрессом и тревогой включают фармакологическое лечение, когнитивно-поведенческую терапию, медитацию, релаксацию, контролируемую физическую активность и другие методы [38]. В амбулаторных условиях в настоящее время широко применяются препараты с противотревожным (анксиолитическим) и успокоительным (седативным) эффектами, к которым в первую очередь относятся транквилизаторы, антидепрессанты и комбинированные препараты, включаю щие в том числе растительные компоненты [39].…”

Stress defines a cluster of psychophysiological responses aimed at enabling resources to solve difficult situations, as well as restoring and maintaining homeostasis in the body. Stress is a combination of physiological, neuroendocrine, behavioural and emotional responses to new or threatening stimuli and serves as a protective adaptation of the body under physiological conditions. In accordance with the effect on the body, beneficial and negative stress is distinguished. Stress can be divided into “chronic” and “acute”. The intensity of the physiological response to a stressor is highly individual and situationally dependent. Many variables, including personal attributes, coping strategies, social support, and past experiences may modify the physiological stress response in any given situation and can account for the different response of people exposed to the same stressor. Intense and persistent stress can lead to psychological and pathological body injury. Stress has a significant impact on different brain regions, including the hippocampus, hypothalamus, amygdala etc. Depression, anxiety, cognitive deficits, and even stress-induced mental diseases are closely related to functional and structural damage of the related brain regions. Repetitive daily acute stress can be associated with different diseases, first of all cardiovascular diseases, which affect quality of life and can cut short life expectancy. Timely treatment is required to prevent progression of early stress reactions to chronic post-traumatic stress disorder, especially in individuals at high risk. Advanced stress and anxiety management interventions include non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments.

In the context of China's rapid development and accelerated pace of life, people generally face increased pressure, leading to a sharp increase in psychological problems. More than half of the population is sub‐healthy, and patients with mental illness are also increasing year by year. Mental stress is a common cause of psychological and physiological disorders, triggering emergency stress states. Psychotherapy has been developing as an important intervention method, and psychological relief based on relaxation and stress reduction has gradually become a research hotspot. Behavioral therapy and cognitive therapy are common psychological treatments, while relaxation induction methods include breathing training, meditation, music, etc. Virtual reality technology is used in psychological research to improve therapeutic effects. Among them, virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET), which treats anxiety by creating virtual scenes, has attracted attention. And in virtual reality exposure therapy treatment, the patient's psychological state can be grasped by monitoring these physiological reactions. This article will discuss the key technologies for psychological decompression based on VRET, aiming to gain an in‐depth understanding of its principles, applications, etc.
