Abstract
In our review, we found that AI is being applied across various areas of adolescent mental health care, spanning diagnosis, treatment planning, symptom monitoring, and prognosis. Interestingly, most studies to date have concentrated heavily on diagnostic tools, leaving other important aspects of care relatively underexplored. This presents a key opportunity for future research to broaden the scope of AI applications beyond diagnosis. Moreover, future studies should emphasize the meaningful and active involvement of end users in the design, development, and validation of AI interventions, alongside improved transparency in reporting AI models, data handling, and analytical processes to build trust and support safe clinical implementation.
