doll toys are what we often call plush toys. They can indeed play a certain positive role in relieving depression, but they cannot completely replace professional treatment.

From a psychological perspective, plush toys can give people a sense of security. Depressed people often feel lonely and helpless, and soft and cute dolls can become their emotional sustenance. Holding a doll is like being hugged warmly. This tactile comfort can relieve anxiety and uneasiness to a certain extent and make people feel relaxed. For example, a person who is depressed after experiencing setbacks may feel that the pain in his heart is alleviated by holding a beloved doll.

Plush toys can also stimulate positive emotions. They usually have cute shapes and bright colors. Seeing these beautiful things will also make people's mood brighter. For patients with depression, this positive emotional experience is very valuable and can dispel negative emotions to a certain extent.

Doll toys can also be used as a medium for emotional expression. Depressed people may not want to or do not know how to confide their inner feelings to others, but they can release their emotions by interacting with dolls. For example, talking to the doll, telling it a story, etc., is actually a process of self-healing.

It should be noted that stuffed toys can only play an auxiliary role. If the symptoms of depression are more serious, patients still need to seek help from professional psychologists or counselors. They will use professional methods and techniques to help patients find the root of the problem and provide effective treatment plans.
