Could AI ever be able to offer therapy?

  • Summary

  • Therapy can help people cope with stress, trauma, depression, anxiety, and other psychological issues but finding the right therapist is not always easy. There is a global shortage of mental health professionals, and many people face barriers such as stigma, cost, or lack of availability. According to the World Health organisation there are almost one billion people with a mental disorder, that's more than one person out of every 10. They said: "just a small fraction of people in need have access to effective, affordable and quality mental health care". Finding the right therapist is not always easy; they are not equally skilled or suited for every client or condition. But there could be an alternative, AI therapists.
