Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2023 im Fachbereich Gesundheit - Mentale Gesundheit, Mental Health, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Mental health is a constantly changing condition of emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Data gathering and support for mental health have entered a new era because of technology. The public, medical professionals, and researchers now have new options to seek assistance, track progress, and deepen their understanding of mental health thanks to mobile devices including cell phones, smartphones, and tablets. Moreover, data analysis and artificial intelligence are playing a significant role in this industry. Increased screen time, social isolation, cyberbullying and decreased physical exercise are all negative effects of technology on mental health. Technology has enhanced access to mental health services and assistance, increased self-awareness and mindfulness, and reduced the stigma associated with mental illness.
