Abstract
This article presents a narrative review analyzing the literature related to the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in mental health. A literature search was conducted through PubMed, Google Scholar, IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, and JMIR databases (2016-2024), analyzing 65 publications thematically. The results indicate that AI has transformative potential in three areas: diagnosis and assessment using machine learning, treatment through chatbots and mHealth applications, and real-time monitoring using deep learning. Applications include early detection of mental disorders, personalized care, and virtual therapy. However, significant ethical challenges remain related to data privacy, algorithmic bias, and technological limitations. The future of AI in mental health requires continued innovation in Natural Language Processing, Virtual Reality, and a clear regulatory framework. The responsible application of AI can enhance the accessibility, effectiveness, and ethicality of mental health services, ultimately promoting optimal psychological well-being.
