The article presents the relevance of the use of modern technologies based on virtual reality; provides an analysis of the latest research that indicates the effectiveness of virtual reality for overcoming social difficulties, depression and stressful conditions. A prototype of a mental health support system is proposed, which uses personalized recommendations for a psychologist and therapist and the support of a virtual assistant. The information system of the mental health support system is modeled based on recommendations, a use case diagram, activity diagrams, and state transitions describing the system are presented. Virtual reality applications created using the Unreal Engine 5.x game engine are described.
