Abstract

Starting from the escalating global burden of mental health disorders, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the article examines the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize mental health care. With nearly one in five adults facing mental health issues and suicide ranking as a leading cause of death among the young, the strained mental health system seeks innovative solutions. The text discusses the rapid evolution of AI, particularly in image analysis for early physical health diagnoses, and its promising applications in mental health, including predictive analytics for various disorders. AI's ability to analyze written language, speech characteristics, and physiological signals from wearables offers avenues for remote monitoring and early prognosis. Despite the need to address ethical considerations, particularly biases in data sets and concerns about potential patient detachment, the article advocates for AI as a complementary tool rather than a replacement for human involvement in mental health services. Overall, the article emphasizes the transformative potential of AI in enhancing diagnostics, monitoring, and treatment strategies for mental health disorders.

人工智能：改变心理健康护理的游戏规则。

文章从因 COVID-19 大流行而加剧的全球心理健康疾病负担升级入手，探讨了人工智能（AI）彻底改变心理健康护理的潜力。近五分之一的成年人面临精神健康问题，自杀成为年轻人的主要死因，紧张的精神健康系统正在寻求创新的解决方案。文中讨论了人工智能的快速发展，尤其是用于早期身体健康诊断的图像分析，以及其在心理健康领域的应用前景，包括对各种疾病的预测分析。人工智能分析书面语言、语音特征和可穿戴设备生理信号的能力，为远程监控和早期预后提供了途径。尽管需要解决伦理方面的问题，特别是数据集的偏差和对潜在病人脱离的担忧，但文章主张将人工智能作为一种补充工具，而不是取代人类参与心理健康服务。总之，文章强调了人工智能在加强精神疾病的诊断、监测和治疗策略方面的变革潜力。

期刊介绍： Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking is a leading peer-reviewed journal that is recognized for its authoritative research on the social, behavioral, and psychological impacts of contemporary social networking practices. The journal covers a wide range of platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, internet gaming, and e-commerce, and examines how these digital environments shape human interaction and societal norms. For over two decades, this journal has been a pioneering voice in the exploration of social networking and virtual reality, establishing itself as an indispensable resource for professionals and academics in the field. It is particularly celebrated for its swift dissemination of findings through rapid communication articles, alongside comprehensive, in-depth studies that delve into the multifaceted effects of interactive technologies on both individual behavior and broader societal trends. The journal's scope encompasses the full spectrum of impacts—highlighting not only the potential benefits but also the challenges that arise as a result of these technologies. By providing a platform for rigorous research and critical discussions, it fosters a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between technology and human behavior.
