Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the landscape of mental health care, offering innovative solutions to address longstanding challenges such as limited access, stigma, and shortages of trained professionals. AI-powered interventions—including chatbots, predictive analytics, and digital therapeutics—are increasingly being integrated into community mental health settings to support early detection, personalized care, and continuous monitoring. These technologies have the potential to democratize mental health support, making it more scalable, affordable, and accessible, particularly in underserved populations. For instance, AI-driven applications can detect early signs of depression or anxiety through language analysis, provide 24/7 support via conversational agents, and guide users through evidence-based therapeutic exercises.
