AI has shown potential to outperform traditional screening tools in identifying depression, anxiety, and PTSD by analyzing complex patterns in patient data—such as speech, text, facial expressions, and biometric signals. Machine learning models can detect subtle signs often missed in standard assessments, enabling earlier and more accurate diagnoses. However, ethical use, transparency, and clinical validation remain essential for safe and effective implementation.
Yes, artificial intelligence (AI) might be better than traditional methods at spotting signs of depression, anxiety, and PTSD in patient information. Recent research shows that AI systems, especially ones that understand and analyze language (NLP) and learn from data (ML), can be very accurate at identifying these mental health issues. you can find more details of research here. https://www.limbic.ai/ & Article A psychologically interpretable artificial intelligence fram...
. Hope this helps.
Given that traditional screening tools were validated in the Western world among the general population, I think you are asking a very good question. I have written about screening tools in a research report that you can find at www.harc.org.nz.
There is a section entitled Emotional Distress in Pregnancy and Postbirth in the Completed Projects section.
I would be most interested in hearing more about the background to this question and collaborating.
