Behavioral Health and Mental Health Services: Using AI to Improve Access and Quality of Care
Abstract: In response to the escalating prevalence of mental health issues, exemplified by a 28% rise in depression symptoms globally post-COVID-19 [2], this paper explores the potential of artificial intelligence AI in transforming behavioral and mental health services. With the United States healthcare expenditures on mental health surpassing 300 billion [5], there is a pressing need for innovative solutions to enhance care quality and accessibility. This review highlights AIs role in addressing the burgeoning demand for mental health services, proposing strategies to improve healthcare outcomes, and reduce costs, thereby alleviating the economic burden on healthcare systems. By integrating AI technologies, we can facilitate a more effective, efficient, and patient-centered approach to mental health care.
