Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in addressing the complex challenges of mental health. With the increasing availability of data and advancements in AI methodologies, this field has emerged as a critical area of innovation for improving the diagnosis, treatment, and management of mental illnesses.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and case studies that highlight advances in AI-driven predictive modeling for the early detection and risk assessment of mental health conditions, novel intervention strategies leveraging AI to deliver personalized care, and outcome analysis tools that enhance the evaluation of therapeutic efficacy and patient progress. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Development and validation of AI models for diagnosing and predicting mental health conditions.
- Applications of machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision in mental health assessment and monitoring.
- AI-powered tools for designing and delivering personalized therapeutic interventions.
- Techniques for analyzing treatment outcomes and long-term patient well-being using AI.
This Special Issue provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, clinicians, and technologists to share insights and innovations at the intersection of AI and mental health. By bridging cutting-edge AI methodologies with clinical practice, we aim to advance mental health care toward greater precision, accessibility, and effectiveness.
