The system (Beta) uses Google GenKit backend AI prompts and queries to generate information for recommended therapies and comorbid conditions. Welcome to Disorder Diagnavigator, your AI-powered mental health explorer! Our easy-to-use platform helps you learn about different psychopathologies, understand how they often link together (known as comorbidities), and discover a range of recommended therapeutic approaches.
