DESCRIPTION MayAIPsy is an AI-powered educational tool designed for psychology students, mental health educators, and curious learners who want to explore psychiatric and psychological concepts in depth.
Using the DSM-5 as its foundation, MayAIPsy guides you through a structured learning experience — from identifying life domains and observable symptom patterns, to understanding associated conditions and evidence-based therapeutic approaches.

Identify associated psychiatric conditions with detailed clinical descriptions
Study evidence-based therapeutic approaches including psychotherapy modalities and pharmacotherapy options
Review clinical references supporting each educational pathway
DESIGNED FOR LEARNING — NOT DIAGNOSIS: MayAIPsy is strictly an educational reference tool.

USING THE APP
-------------
Q: How does MayAIPsy work?
A: MayAIPsy guides you through a four-step educational journey. First, you select the life domains of interest from eight categories — Mood, Cognition, Behavior, Sleep, Social, Functioning, Physical, and Substance. Second, the app presents AI-generated symptom patterns associated with your selected domains. Third, you identify associated psychiatric conditions with detailed clinical descriptions. Fourth, you explore evidence-based therapeutic approaches for the selected condition.
Q: What are Life Domains?
A: Life Domains are the eight broad areas of human functioning used to organize symptom patterns in MayAIPsy. They are Mood, Cognition, Behavior, Sleep, Social, Functioning, Physical, and Substance. Selecting one or more domains helps the app generate relevant educational content about symptom patterns in those areas.
Q: How many domains can I select at once?
A: You can select up to eight domains at one time. Selecting multiple domains allows the app to generate symptom patterns and conditions that span across those areas of functioning.
Q: What are Observed Patterns?
A: Observed Patterns are specific symptom presentations within your selected life domains. For example, within the Mood domain, patterns might include Persistent Low Mood, Anhedonia, or Emotional Lability. You select the patterns that are relevant to your educational exploration, and the app uses these to identify associated conditions.
Q: What therapeutic approaches does the app cover?
A: MayAIPsy presents a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches including psychotherapy modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), and Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP), as well as pharmacotherapy options. Each approach includes a strength of evidence rating and clinical references.

A: Yes. At the end of each learning pathway, you can tap "Start New Assessment" to begin again with a different set of domains and patterns.
Q: Can I share results from the app?
A: Yes. At the end of a therapeutic approaches session, you can tap "Share Approaches" to share the educational content with others.
