I've heard AI-based chatbots like Woebot and Wysa are being used to provide mental health support and coping strategies. They can help identify early warning signs and guide people to additional resources if needed. Pretty cool applications of AI to improve wellbeing!

Absolutely, AI chatbots and virtual agents are being used to provide 24/7 mental health support, triage issues, and guide people to appropriate resources. Some are also using NLP to analyze social media and online content to identify early signs of depression, self-harm, etc. Pretty amazing potential but important to combine with human expertise.

In my experience, AI has helped therapists analyze patterns in a patient's progress. It's been fascinating to see how AI tools can spot mood shifts and suggest adjustments to treatment based on data analysis.

I've been using AI-powered journaling apps like Reflect. It analyzes my writing and suggests coping strategies or resources, helping me stay on top of my mental well-being.
