AI in Mental Health: The Future of Personalized Psychological Care
By- Dr. Arvind Otta, Senior Psychologist & Mental Health Activist
Artificial Intelligence or AI is a rapidly growing technology that replicates intelligent human processes through massive amounts of codes and human-generated data. This data collected over decades helps the AI program to perform human tasks like learning, problem-solving, and comprehension while also reducing the possibilities of human error. Currently, it is being tested in the healthcare sector to bridge the gaps in healthcare in accessibility and delivery.
Current Challenges in Mental Health
Currently, the biggest challenge in mental health care is the inability to provide access to mental health services on a large scale. One aspect of it is the lack of therapists which has led to a waiting time of several weeks or even months long in countries like the USA. The situation has gotten worse because of a growing need for mental health services, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, the stigma surrounding mental health remains an obstacle that stops people from getting help since they fear being judged or discriminated against.
