Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if there is an effect of Virtual Reality (VR) based-relaxation on electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)-related anxiety. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does VR based-relaxation have an effect on anxiety in patients receiving ECT as part of routine clinical care? * Does VR based-relaxation have an effect on stress symptoms and heart rate in patients receiving ECT as part of routine clinical care? * Does depression severity have an effect on the effectivity of VR-based relaxation Researchers will compare VR-relaxation to relaxation breathing exercises and no relaxation to see if VR-based relaxation has an effect on ECT-related anxiety.
