ABSTRACT

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in

the field of mental health. This abstract provides an overview of the
key applications and implications of AI in mental health care. AI
technologies, such as natural language processing, machine learning,
and computer vision, have been leveraged to enhance various aspects
of mental health assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. AI-driven
chatbots and virtual therapists offer accessible and scalable support
to individuals experiencing mental health challenges. Additionally,
predictive algorithms help identify at-risk populations and prevent
crises, while AI-powered data analysis aids in personalizing
treatment plans. However, ethical considerations, data privacy, and
potential biases in AI algorithms are important concerns that demand
attention. This abstract underscores the growing role of AI in mental
health and the need for a balanced approach that combines
technological innovation with ethical safeguards to promote the well-
being of individuals.
