☆ Virtual reality could unlock better treatment for psychosis — a use case that's gaining traction globally
  + stars: | 2024-06-07 | by ( Jake Hall | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
Some researchers are advocating the benefits of VR therapy for psychosis treatment. A clinical trial showed VR therapy reduced anxiety and agoraphobia in people with psychosis. Anywhere from 15 to 100 people out of 100,000 develop psychosis annually, according to the National Institute for Mental Health. AdvertisementThere's a growing body of research that demonstrates the efficacy of VR treatment, yet Bullock described healthcare providers as a "cautious group by nature." Despite reluctance among US healthcare providers, researchers in the UK, Hong Kong, Canada, and elsewhere are building a convincing case for VR treatment.

☆ Hong Kong slashes directly elected seats in local polls, further reducing democracy

[1/2] Legislators vote for the third reading of the District Councils (Amendment) Bill, which pertains to electoral overhaul, at the Legislative Council in Hong Kong, China July 6, 2023. Under the amendment bill, only 88 seats would be directly elected by the public, down from 452 seats in an election that saw a landslide victory by the democracy camp in 2019. For the remaining seats not contested, 40 percent would be appointed by the city leader and 27 ex-officio seats would remain. China had promised universal suffrage as an ultimate goal for Hong Kong in its mini-constitution, the Basic Law. Pro-democracy politicians won 388 out of 452 district council seats during the last district council election in 2019, taking almost ninety percent of the seats and humiliating the pro-Beijing camp.
