Artificial Intelligence-Powered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Chatbots, a Systematic Review.

Farzan M, Ebrahimi H, Pourali M, et al.· Iran J Psychiatry· 2025Systematic Review

This review identifies the characteristic features of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots and their therapeutic effect; assesses their efficacy in treatment of depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders; and establishes levels of user engagement and satisfaction.Searches were conducted on the PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, CENTRAL, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar databases using a set of keywords such as, not limited to, AI cognitive behavioral therapy (AI CBT), Youper, Wysa, Woebot, and other related terms. We included studies that were empirical, peer-reviewed, conducted betwee…

The Efficacy of Conversational AI in Rectifying the Theory-of-Mind and Autonomy Biases: Comparative Analysis.

Rządeczka M, Sterna A, Stolińska J, et al.· JMIR Ment Health· 2025Observational

The increasing deployment of conversational artificial intelligence (AI) in mental health interventions necessitates an evaluation of their efficacy in rectifying cognitive biases and recognizing affect in human-AI interactions. These biases are particularly relevant in mental health contexts as they can exacerbate conditions such as depression and anxiety by reinforcing maladaptive thought patterns or unrealistic expectations in human-AI interactions. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of therapeutic chatbots (Wysa and Youper) versus general-purpose language models (GPT-3.5, GPT-4,…

Therapy chatbots and emotional complexity: do therapy chatbots really empathise?

Gabriels K, Goffin K· Curr Opin Psychol· 2026

Internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) and, more specific, therapy chatbots are at the heart of this article. We review studies about therapy chatbots in terms of risks, benefits, and 'empathetic design'. Research shows that these chatbots can relieve symptoms of stress, depression, and anxiety, by tracking emotions over time, encouraging self-reflection, and helping to gain insight into cognitive biases, among other things. However, several studies focus on the short term, have limited samples, and include self-report. While there are certainly benefits, risks such as privacy, d…

Public Trust in Artificial Intelligence Applications in Mental Health Care: Topic Modeling Analysis.

Shan Y, Ji M, Xie W, et al.· JMIR Hum Factors· 2022

Mental disorders (MDs) impose heavy burdens on health care (HC) systems and affect a growing number of people worldwide. The use of mobile health (mHealth) apps empowered by artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being resorted to as a possible solution. This study adopted a topic modeling (TM) approach to investigate the public trust in AI apps in mental health care (MHC) by identifying the dominant topics and themes in user reviews of the 8 most relevant mental health (MH) apps with the largest numbers of reviewers. We searched Google Play for the top MH apps with the largest numbers…
