Through analyzing numerous studies in which computer-based programs evaluated the linguistic markers and clinical histories of patients with identified and/or unidentified mental health illnesses, it becomes clear that utilizing artificial intelligence in mental health treatment can maintain patient engagement, support healthcare professionals in their clinical work, and improve access to treatment for residents of underserved areas. Although there are risks to expanding this new technology, the significant benefit it’s able to provide to both clinicians and patients invites more research and discussion amongst the scientific community.
