Option 1

 * Article title
 * Treatments for PTSD


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is less developed than some of the other potential wikipedia pages, and is specific to a certain medical condition making it a good candidate for editing. Right now virtual reality has been added as form of exposure therapy. I believe it could be an entirely separate category, and further added upon. For example, discussing more recent instances of treatments like those with PTSD induced by 9/11.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Virtual reality therapy


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is really comprehensive, so adding/editing to it may be challenging. I think the best way to contribute is going to be adding content that is more recent. For example, discussion of VR as a treatment for hand eye coordination issue is not discussed in the article.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Virtual reality applications


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article seems very well developed and researched. The healthcare section is relatively short, and definitely could be expanded upon in terms of content and information relating to the promising therapeutic benefits of VR. I think some more recent studies and newer research could contribute to the article. For example, the article does not include information about phobia treatment (except claiming it can treat phobias), so that would be an easy and effective way to contribute to it.
