Key Factors Stimulating Growth in the AI Psychological Counseling Market
One of the primary drivers behind the expansion of this market is the rising prevalence of mental health disorders worldwide.

This growing anxiety prevalence underscores the increasing need for effective mental health resources, thereby propelling demand in the AI psychological counseling sector.
