Artificial Intelligence is becoming an integral part of our daily lives, but did you know it’s also making its way into mental health care? In this episode of Healthwise, host Kartik, also known as Ilahionradio, explores how AI is shaping mental health support. From AI-powered chatbots like Woebot and Wysa that provide 24/7 emotional assistance to predictive algorithms that identify early signs of anxiety or depression, AI is being used to offer new ways to track and manage mental well-being. But while these tools can help bridge gaps in mental health care, are they truly reliable?

Kartik also discusses the ethical concerns surrounding AI in mental health, including privacy risks, the lack of human connection, and potential biases in AI-driven recommendations. Can AI ever replace the role of a therapist, or should it remain just a supporting tool? As technology continues to advance, balancing innovation with responsibility is key. Tune in to this conversation to understand how AI is influencing mental health.
