  Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various fields, including
medicine and mental health support. One promising application is ChatGPT, an
advanced conversational AI model that uses deep learning techniques to provide
human-like responses. This review paper explores the potential impact of
ChatGPT in psychiatry and its various applications, highlighting its role in
therapy and counseling techniques, self-help and coping strategies, mindfulness
and relaxation techniques, screening and monitoring, education and information
dissemination, specialized support, group and family support, learning and
training, expressive and artistic therapies, telepsychiatry and online support,
and crisis management and prevention. While ChatGPT offers personalized,
accessible, and scalable support, it is essential to emphasize that it should
not replace the expertise and guidance of qualified mental health
professionals. Ethical considerations, such as user privacy, data security, and
human oversight, are also discussed. By examining the potential and challenges,
this paper sheds light on the responsible integration of ChatGPT in psychiatric
research and practice, fostering improved mental health outcomes.
