1. A method for management of a psychiatric or mental condition, the method comprising
at a computer system associated with a subject, the computer system comprising one or more processors, a display, an audio recorder, and a memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory comprising one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, wherein the one or more programs comprise instructions for:
presenting, on the display, an interactive digital reality (DR) scene comprising (i) a first affordance region associated with a plurality of interactive DR activities and (ii) a second affordance region different from the first affordance region and associated with a ledger of activity performed by the subject during the plurality of interactive DR activities and persistently displayed during the plurality of interactive DR activities, and a first interactive DR activity in the plurality of interactive DR activities comprises:
detecting, by the one or more processors, a selection by the subject of a respective recording object in one or more recording objects at the first affordance region,
forming, by the one or more processors, a first corresponding evidence construct associated with the subject in one or more evidence constructs, wherein the first corresponding evidence construct is associated with a first statement uttered by the subject during the first interactive DR activity,
presenting, on the display, at the first affordance region, a first visualization of the first corresponding evidence construct, and
updating, on the display, at the second affordance region, the ledger with a second visualization of the first corresponding evidence construct different from the first visualization of the first corresponding evidence construct;
further presenting, on the display, at the first affordance region, a second interactive DR activity in the plurality of interactive DR activities;
determining whether the subject satisfies a threshold condition associated with each interactive DR activity in the plurality of interactive DR activities, wherein each respective threshold condition defines a criterion that must be achieved in order for the respective threshold condition to be deemed satisfied;
obtaining, on the display, at the second affordance region, when the subject is deemed to satisfy the threshold condition associated with each interactive DR activity in the plurality of interactive DR activities, by the one or more recording objects, a second corresponding evidence construct associated with a second statement uttered by the subject in the one or more evidence constructs, wherein the second statement is a reframing of the first statement; and
further updating, by the one or more processors, on the display, at the second affordance region, the ledger with a third visualization of the second corresponding evidence construct associated and, at a user profile associated with the subject, a historical record of the ledger, wherein the third visualization is displayed adjacent to the first visualization, thereby indicating an improvement in the management of the psychiatric or mental condition by the subject.
