It also aims to identify the need for further research and collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and technology developers to safely and effectively implement AI in the care of patients with mental disorders.  \nViews: The application of AI in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses is a promising direction for modern psychiatry, but it involves many ethical challenges. AI is being used in a variety of areas, such as early disease detection, personalization of treatment and monitoring the progress of therapy. Examples include recognizing patterns in patient data, detecting the early stages of neurodegenerative diseases, and using digital games and mobile apps to treat mental disorders such as depression and anxiety disorders. Despite the growing role of AI, there are a number of controversies related to the lack of empathy its use brings to patient in patient interactions, the threat to data privacy, and the opacity of decision-making processes in AI algorithms. Ethical challenges also include the risk of over-reliance on technology and the reduced role of human specialists in psychiatry. Conclusions: The application of AI in psychiatry comes with opportunities as well as serious ethical challenges. Ensuring the transparency of algorithms, protecting patients’ privacy and clearly defining responsibility for decisions made with the support of AI remain crucial. Only a responsible approach to these issues will allow the full potential of AI to be realized without compromising basic ethical values.  \nKey words: responsibility, autonomy, algorithm, privacy, ethical issues.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nMental disorders are still one of the leading causes of disability. In 2019, there were more than 970 million cases worldwide related to depressive and anxiety disorders [1]. One of the more widely used indicators in health policy is DALY (disability-adjusted life years) . This indicator reflects the severity of a particular disease or group of diseases and is measured by the number of years lost due to ill health, disability or early death. One DALY corresponds to the loss of one year of life in full health [2] .  \nAccording to the Global Burden of Disease study, between 1990 and 2019 the number of DALYs lost due to mental illnesses rose from 80.8 million in 1990 to 125.3 million in 2019, while the percentage of DALYs lost due  \nto mental disorders increased from 3. 1% to 4.9%[3] . In order to reduce their negative impact on the health of societies, the organized introduction of effective prevention and treatment programs by governments and the international health community is essential. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the treatment and diagnosis of mental illnesses is a rapidly developing area that can help with this issue. Traditional treatment methods, which include pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, often prove insufficient or difficult for patients to access. In this context, tools based on AI could represent a breakthrough, offering new possibilities for diagnosis, therapy and the monitoring patients’ health.
