Description
This chapter explores the potential of Artificial Intelligence in mental health, with a special focus on psychopathologies. The researchers expand on AIs role in assisting clinicians diagnosis, symptom tracking, predictive modelling, and therapy for psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders like Depression, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Substance Use Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and ADHD. Crucial interventions include wearables for anxiety, virtual reality exposure for PTSD, and robotic social companions for children with ASD. Despite these advancements, the use of AI chatbots as a replacement for therapy has been a subject of debate, largely due to issues around safety. The study highlights potential limitations, including risks in user interactions, limited therapeutic support, algorithmic biases, accessibility issues, and ethical concerns; advocating for Human in the Loop models where AI and clinicians work together, and calling for ethically designed AI systems that augment access without compromising on empathy, nuance and relational depth. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
