AI-powered chatbots developed to support mental health therapy sessions. #MentalHealthChatbots 🤝 Follow us on Discord 🔜: https://lnkd.in/gt823Zd3 🤝 Follow us on Whatsapp 🔜 https://wapia.in/wabeta _ ❇️ Summary: Artificial intelligence is now being used in mental health support through chatbots like Woebot, created by Alison Darcy. While AI-driven chatbots aim to fill the gap in therapist shortages, not all are effective or safe. Some chatbots, like Tessa for eating disorders, have given harmful advice due to generative AI features. Despite the risks, AI offers a solution to the lack of mental health care access, but careful development and regulation are needed to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Young people are increasingly turning to AI tools for mental health support. As a digital mental health provider, here are our thoughts 💭 Yesterday, the BBC revealed the ‘Psychologist’ chatbot that millions of young people are turning to for mental health advice. That so many young people are talking to an AI bot about their problems isn’t surprising, for a few reasons: ✅ AI chat free and instantaneous, where professional mental health support can be expensive and hard to access.  ✅ They can access it anytime (like at 3am, when intrusive thoughts may be loud and they can’t speak to anyone else).  ✅ It’s anonymous. An AI bot isn’t going to judge you. But should we be worried about the quality of the support offered by Chatbots like these? Possibly. The ‘Psychologist’ chatbot on Character.ai isn’t an actual psychologist - it was built by a student, and uses a large language model. What young people need is affordable and readily available digital support that they can trust. They need support that uses AI innovation responsibly, and is rooted in the latest evidence and clinical safeguarding measures. At Cerina, we’re proud to be working towards a future where effective and affordable digital mental health support is available to all who need it, whenever and wherever they need it. 

AI Therapy: Helpful or Harmful? A mental health expert warns against replacing human therapists with AI, despite its growing use in mental health care. AI lacks the genuine empathy and emotional connection of humans, and should only complement, not replace, traditional therapy. Concerns include privacy, over-reliance, and inadequate support for severe mental health issues. #AI #MentalHealthCare #Therapy #EthicsInTechnology #PrivacyConcerns #HumanEmpathy #ArtificialIntelligence

Can AI be utilized to address the overwhelming need for mental health support in the world today? As a coach who supports human beings in large part with my own humanity, the glaring issue with this is AI's lack thereof. While chatbots can replicate undivided attention, unconditional high regard, and certainly be available at all times, missing authentic human connection feels catastrophic. There are some similar vibes as with art created by AI - it hits the marks but where's the humanity? However, as indicated in the article, AI therapy (and other forms of conversation-based support) can address problems of access and be used as part of a care plan. I'm not a therapist, and I'm curious how therapists perceive this.

Can a “Psychologist” character chatbot provide the mental health care you need? Not by itself. AI is everywhere, and we’re learning about the opportunities and challenges in the healthcare space. There are pros: it is always available and can be trained to provide basic support if trained on scientifically-backed approaches to therapy, but there will always be a human element to mental health care that cannot–and should not–be replaced. https://lnkd.in/gYk8fT8B? #mentalhealth

#AI for Personalized Mental Health Support, ET HealthWorld #MentalHealthAI 🤝 Follow us on Discord 🔜: https://lnkd.in/gt823Zd3 🤝 Follow us on Whatsapp 🔜 https://wapia.in/wabeta _ ❇️ Summary: AI and technology are revolutionizing the healthcare industry, especially in the field of mental health. While AI can enhance accessibility and resources, it falls short in emotional understanding and personalized care compared to human therapists. The future of mental health support lies in a collaborative approach, where AI and human therapists work together to offer the best possible care. AI should be viewed as a complementary tool, not a replacement, in the complex and deeply personal domain of mental healthcare. Hashtags: #chatGPT 1. #AIforMentalHealth 2. #PersonalisedSupportAI
