What term describes AI-driven support using CBT techniques to help manage anxiety, depression, and stress with round-the-clock availability?

• A. Chatbots for mental health
• B. AI therapy apps
• C. Digital CBT assistants
• D. Mindfulness chatbots

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is a conversational AI tool that uses CBT techniques to support mental health, available anytime. A chat-based system that engages users in cognitive-behavioral strategies, offers coping prompts, thought records, and behavioral activation reminders, fits this description exactly. It provides round-the-clock access and interacts in a natural dialogue, which is what makes a chatbot a practical medium for delivering CBT content to help manage anxiety, depression, and stress.

Why this term fits best: it captures the interactive, chat-based nature of the support and the use of CBT techniques, all aimed at everyday mental health management with continuous availability.

Why the other terms are less precise: AI therapy apps can imply broader, perhaps more formal therapy features and may not always center on CBT or a chat format; digital CBT assistants are CBT-specific but may not emphasize the real-time chat interaction and 24/7 access; mindfulness chatbots focus on mindfulness practices rather than CBT-based strategies.
