a, d, w dot com and or not. so some media tunnels i handle is at dw news. i'm british manager in berlin. thanks so much for watching the back again in about 45 minutes from now. we'll see you then, but the, sometimes it's hard to find what you're looking for. but we've got something for you. how many platforms can you handle single tenuously without having the feeling that it's just too much? you might see me. how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking these are modern because if we do too much,

we get it all wrong. we mess things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage, humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube, v. w documentary, the depression, anxiety disorders, panic attacks, according to the world health organization. every 8 person worldwide suffers from mental health problems and the figure was even higher among young people. there's the lack of health on average, only one psychiatry is available for every 100000 people worldwide. in some countries, more of a system, less and therapy is expensive. now it's a mental health. but can you imagine in a i tripled as your therapist. in brazil, it is estimated that almost $1.10 people have an exciting disorder more than anywhere else in the world. this trend is giving rise to

a wave of apps promising to improve mental health. the single ad, for example, has been downloaded by millions. one of them is the one that someone like us from sell portal 11 years ago on this, i'm a lucky s from cell phone and it was diagnosed with things i. it's the sheep and having symptoms for us at any time her hopwood stopped to raise. her breathing became labeled. her hands would tremble or shake it was 2019 when she discovered the single which promises to help you overcome your emotional issues. she's been a regular user ever since. i'm days when i'm particularly anxious. i have palpitations, and that kind of restless slips before i stop. what i'm doing to sit here on the bench and take a few deep breaths in and out. i get my phone option to imagine cxa cyrus was refer singles,

release was in 2017. the app was developed in brazil by psychologists and euro scientists. registration is free, but all features are only available with a paid premium subscription. after registering you answer questions about yourself to determine strengths and weaknesses. based on this, you receive a personalized program with videos, audio clips, and thought to coats. for me, while i was going through the time of important decisions, and i think the app helps me a lot of things to get to know myself, but to, to make the decision was that needed to be made up to them a product. now of course, by the miraculous of it's not something that takes you out of the situation completely references, but it does put you in the right direction. i think it's great. it makes her can work on that. but i think that's like this can definitely the help desk of these cover see mean the cycles therapist specializes in the use of technology to improve mental health well, and it's bobby nevada that can help in various ways. first,

the user can understand the severity of their anxiety and begin to understand what the trigger is on that exacerbate that anxiety and learn to understand how the trick is work and how to deal with families. bottles on this, i'm a lucky f as tried to therapy several times when she finds it difficult to open up to people. that's where the app really excelled. so her single is now an integral part of her everyday life. and so not all of the advice and the episode, so the 32 year old has already been able to overcome some of her fears. my have been able to gradually work from lang's, i can work on switching to my relatives. today. i can have a much better conversations with my parents are, which was hardly even possible for a year for them to or mental health issues don't just affect people in their private lives,

but also professionally preventing those effected from being fully productive at work. that's an issue for them and say employ, you could have found something things even though my depression has also been on the rise. it's now the number one cause of sick leave and present. this shows that the situation has been lessening for several years now. either those back guys moving toyota and according to the world health organization as many as 12000000000 working days, a lost every year due to mental health issues, topics which are often neglected in everyday work life. many few that too busy and others are simply uncomfortable talking to colleagues and employers about it. but this brazilian company is looking to change. that's me know, things that have interest in pursuing to the all the conversations i have when something like this, you wouldn't believe that they was smiling yesterday and today they come back with a certificate saying that the products which kind of fits to someone else committed

suicide last week and one of upside, it's strongly enough that with using problems everywhere. nobody had a solution. is catalina, the fee has worked a lot with h. all departments in lots of companies. that's why she develop the i v i x together with her team and the psychologist is designed to improve mental health in everyday working life. the app is sold to companies will offer it to the employees free of charge. it's designed to help employees bets understand themselves and provide advice on dealing with difficult situations. each quarter could achieve change for combust, but we mainly focus on anxiety, depression, and stress is just the most common disorders among them. for either supplements yet we cannot find action or illnesses such as find cardinal disorder, all scripts of for in the so that's not what it was made for the kind of diagnosis . it was made to hope. the majority of people that think the i might of the specialist the aim is to improve people's wellbeing. meditation exercises on use,

it can help. but if use a noticeably on the well, federal p is recommended and accessible directly via the app. that information is kept from the companies, of course, businesses that use ivy. i do receive evaluations of how the employees are doing buds, catalina, the see, shows us the data is anonymized and untraceable back to individual employees. anything goes headquarters. entity report has just 2 categories printed and done on the age and impulse with my cannot allow h all departments to identify don't you think? lots of companies asked for more categories such as the problem to region. and we lose the contract because we weren't provider that hasn't happened since that we no longer work, but his knowledge companies because they also details, we just went give out nothing,

nothing on the go shibel and the risk we don't want to play. so my privacy is important when it comes to health issues, especially with employers, not everyone wants to boss to know about mental health problems. so what do you do? a, i office some interesting possibilities. the character a, i is a website that allows users to create their own box with any personality they choose among various historical and 6, no characters. there's also a psychologist created by a medical students after feeding the check book notes from his a psychology lecture. he started talking to him about his exam stress. when others discovered the i setup is it quickly became very popular. today the chapel has sent over 125000000 messages. a private person designed a check board for his own use, but it ended up being well received by many sounds fun, but it isn't. it highlights a huge issue with digital health services. that's

a lack of quality control. in a i is only as good as it's training and datasets. an artificial intelligence can make mistakes even live in a so called hallucination. and it might misunderstand questions, but in the context of therapy, the consequences of mistakes like this can be life threatening. in 2022, for example, robots a well known a mental health site to lead, misinterpreted research as test inputs. the inputs i want to go, klein but clifton el dorado canyon and jump off. it's the response. it's so wonderful that you're taking care of both your mental and physical health able to unlock yet very good at understanding nuances, or as in this case, distinguishing between a sports and activities and the suicide attempt. something

a human therapist would even notice the west national eating disorders association removed in a i chet bought from its website in 2023 because it gave dangerous advice on weight loss and body mass index. the quality of the answers that a check book gift can vary enormously. of course, most a models do have safeguards, but it is no uncommon appearance that they failed to a disastrous effect. fucked up when to that, obviously i should have high quality security systems to protect this data. the number of mental health apps we have today is absurd. we usually don't know how good the quality is just to learn how secure they all got. you know, one really knows how these models have been trained and what implicit biases they might perpetuate. many companies market the apps for mental well being rather than mental health. that's to get around regulations for mental health services. but

when it comes to health, privacy ends, data security, particularly important study, vitamins zillow foundation, felt, and that's 19 out of 32 popular mental health apps do not protects use this privacy quite the opposite. they were found to track and store users private information, in some cases, even passing it on to at the times this dangerous advice and inadequate data protection. if you do use an a i therapy app, make sure you know about the risk human therapist on the go years of training and a subject to strict controls. the same cannot always be said about a i check box can be very helpful if they're used correctly. the big advantage of a i, chet books, is the immediacy in times of crisis. it is a huge benefit not to be tied to a location or appointments, and so on. the eps make psychological support accessible. this is especially true

for people who struggle with stigmatization and health care. a study of over 100000 patients from britain and support this theory. the use of an a i chip pulled in the registration process significantly. increase the number of referrals for psychotherapy, being crease was particularly significant among ethnic minorities, increasing 29 percent. and even more so among people who identify as mon, binary, and increase of a 179 percent. last, i think also official intelligence has an illness potential in the field of mental health. and can also help many people who might reject the traditional therapy. that's shut out. in addition, an a i therapy boats can be programmed to adapt precisely to individual needs. this is important because the patient and therapist must be a good match. only then comes therapy be successful. affords a, i can not completely replace human psychologists. however, i thought of that to corporate and

a i can be kind of kind of therapist for supposing a patient between therapy session. but it can help those who don't want to talk to a psychologist who might prefer also official intentions such yourself. but that will come a point when a i can no longer help for now at least 4 minutes. now what do you want? so hey, i can really help us with our mental health problems, but it is a v answer. more of an alternative. what do you think? would you trust a check board with your issues? or is that a no go for you? let us know with the comments. that's it for me. so you next time the, the co africa, the coming in from

a post escalating to a very higher level. the problem resources i'll be coming guess because of time to change the initiative. now office guided mediation to find solutions. romito africa. next on d, w. we a back in kenya as capital of ne ruby. now this city has been the seeds of ongoing protest, initially started a guest, a controversial finance to the proposed sweeping increases in texas. we need a solution from how this purchased a going to own was it for pushing it in pieces like that's nice. wasn't the kind of christmas wonderful. used to this 77 percent in 60 minutes on d. w. b. untold story only
