This article discusses the use of natural language processing (NLP) and chatbots in mental healthcare, highlighting their potential to improve access to therapy and support for both patients and clinicians. NLP programs provide privacy and anonymity for users, which can help reduce stigma and improve help-seeking behavior. Chatbots can also support patients in reframing thoughts and providing personalized care, leading to better health outcomes. However, they should not be seen as a replacement for human therapists, but rather as a complementary tool.
