As cryptocurrency, blockchain and nonfungible token project, Metaverse, as well as other online communities, gain more popularity, the world becomes increasingly connected. However, we’re also seeing rates of depression and feelings of isolation and loneliness skyrocket. While this isn’t a cause and effect phenomenon, it is worth considering as the younger generation becomes more connected to virtual worlds. A national mental health crisis has been aggravated by the global COVID-19 epidemic. Mental Health America reportedA staggering 47.1 million Americans live with mental illness. That’s one in five Americans, folks.

These figures are alarming but there is progress with virtual world therapies and modern treatments. You might want to log onto your computer and meet your cryptographically-certified doctor or therapist. What about having a prescription sent directly to you? Young people often feel more at ease in virtual settings, where they are surrounded by friends and represented by an avatar.
