From BBC News:
Computer-based therapy should be available to all patients in England from April, says the government. Patients with mild depression or anxiety should receive therapy instead of drugs, but there are long waiting lists around the country.
A trial of one computer programme - 'Beating the Blues' - found it more cost-effective than other treatments.
But experts warned computer-based therapy was not for everyone and access to therapists also needs to improve.
So what happens when the computer detects suicidal ideation or plan? Does it send the robot to the house? Does this mean that prozac et. al. are out of business?
