Core Tip	The metaverse is a complex digital technology with diverse functions. It differs from other digital psychiatric interventions because of its distinctive features. The unique features of the metaverse suggest that it can have a substantial impact on mental health. However, the evidence for its efficacy in treating psychiatric disorders is limited, and the potential mental health risks of the metaverse are unknown. Further research is needed to define the role of metaverse-based interventions in mental healthcare.
