Dealing with burn out/anxiety?

@barryzheng568 There are several big challenges in mental health. 1 - not recognizing the issues early 2 - lack of knowledge (we are not taught this in school) 3.- high cost for intervention (a therapist is $200 per hour, and that's the cheapest option) 4.- Isolation - people with burnout/depression/anxiety actually retreat when they should be seeking connection So regular contact with human beings who understand therapy modalities matters. Where I could see AI being beneficial is in assembling specific programs and tracking results. For example anxiety/burnout/anger management/depression/substance abuse can all be managed using broadly similar approaches, but there are specific differences. AI might allow for a more tailored assistant as people are going through programs and could offer courses or self-care options based on individual responses. Another challenge with mental health is that we really don't know how well treatment works because people don't stick around for a survey - they just go off and live their lives. So AI could help keep people connected after they go through a specific program, and help track how they're doing 5 and 10 years down the road. If there's enough data it would be an opportunity to optimize around what really works. I'm a designer, not a developer, so I'm limited in my vision of what AI could/couldn't do. But that's my impression of where it could be useful. Happy to continue that conversation!

@maria_anosova True! I'm a not-so-young Dad myself and can relate. Having kids and running a business is a lot. Plus when people get overwhelmed the first thing they often do is throw their own well-being out the window. I'm hoping something accessible and affordable at least gives people a start.

@kostyabolsh It's a practice, not a perfect. The little things add up a bit at a time (or subtract the same way).
