We examine the use of AI in identifying and treating mental health disorders, highlighting its impact on screening, diagnosis, and intervention strategies. Technologies such as natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML), and computer-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) are discussed in the context of enhancing Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS). While these innovations promise increased efficiency and accessibility in psychiatric care, they also introduce ethical challenges, including concerns over privacy, bias, and reduced human interaction.
