Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the most transformative and innovative forces of the 21st century, revolutionizing various fields, including healthcare. One of the most promising applications of AI is its potential to predict and manage mental health crises. As the global burden of mental health conditions continues to rise, the need for more effective tools to predict, diagnose, and treat these issues has never been greater. Mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia, are not only prevalent but often go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed until symptoms become severe. The use of AI to predict mental health crises could significantly alter how society addresses mental health challenges, offering the possibility of early intervention, tailored treatment plans, and better outcomes for individuals.
