Does anyone use AI for mental health? For or Against?

A Reddit user initiated a discussion about the use of AI for mental health, prompted by a friend's acquaintance using AI as a personal psychiatrist. The user questioned the efficacy of AI, suggesting it offers common sense advice and typically recommends professional help for serious issues, making its direct utility for problem-solving from an LLM seem "pointless." An article from ScienceDirect was shared for further reference on the topic.
