AI, Mental Health and Society is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal that focuses on interdisciplinary research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, mental health, and the social sciences. The journal provides a rigorous scholarly forum for investigating how artificial intelligence technologies are developed, implemented, and governed in relation to mental health, psychological well-being, and broader societal systems.
The journal publishes research that critically examines the implications of AI for mental health across individual, institutional, and societal levels, including but not limited to mental health services, education, healthcare systems, social inequality, ethics, regulation, and public policy. Emphasis is placed on analytical clarity, methodological rigor, and theoretical contribution, with attention to diverse cultural, social, and geographic contexts.
AI, Mental Health and Society welcomes original empirical research, theoretical and conceptual papers, systematic and scoping reviews, methodological studies, and policy-oriented analyses. The journal particularly values work that adopts human-centered, ethical, and socially responsible perspectives, and that contributes to evidence-informed practice and decision-making rather than purely technical performance or engineering outcomes.
The journal serves as an interdisciplinary platform for scholars working in psychology, psychiatry, public health, education, sociology, social policy, human–computer interaction, data science, and related fields. By integrating technological perspectives with social and behavioral inquiry, AI, Mental Health and Society seeks to advance critical understanding of the societal dimensions of AI in mental health and to support responsible innovation grounded in empirical evidence and social relevance.
The journal is committed to transparent editorial policies, a robust and independent peer-review process, academic integrity, and international scholarly exchange. It publishes original research articles, review articles, short communications, perspectives, and policy analyses.
