Numerous systematic reviews summarize the evidence on the accuracy of AI models in diagnosing different mental disorders. This umbrella review aims to synthesize results of previous systematic reviews on the performance of AI models in diagnosing mental disorders. To identify relevant systematic reviews, we searched 11 electronic databases, checked the reference list of the included reviews, and checked the reviews that cited the included reviews. Two reviewers independently selected the relevant reviews, extracted the data from them, and appraised their quality. We synthesized the extracted data using the narrative approach. We included 15 systematic reviews of 852 citations identified. The included reviews assessed the performance of AI models in diagnosing Alzheimer\u2019s disease (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20097), mild cognitive impairment (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20096), schizophrenia (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20093), bipolar disease (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092), autism spectrum disorder (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091), obsessive-compulsive disorder (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091), post-traumatic stress disorder (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091), and psychotic disorders (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091). The performance of the AI models in diagnosing these mental disorders ranged between 21% and 100%. AI technologies offer great promise in diagnosing mental health disorders. The reported performance metrics paint a vivid picture of a bright future for AI in this field. Healthcare professionals in the field should cautiously and consciously begin to explore the opportunities of AI-based tools for their daily routine. It would also be encouraging to see a greater number of meta-analyses and further systematic reviews on performance of AI models in diagnosing other common mental disorders such as depression and anxiety.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41746-022-00631-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,7]],"date-time":"2022-07-07T14:09:54Z","timestamp":1657202994000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":76,"title":["The performance of artificial intelligence-driven technologies in diagnosing mental disorders: an umbrella review"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"5","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7695-4626","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alaa","family":"Abd-alrazaq","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dari","family":"Alhuwail","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jens","family":"Schneider","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6351-1340","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carla T.","family":"Toro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4025-5767","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arfan","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6082-7873","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mahmood","family":"Alzubaidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohannad","family":"Alajlani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3648-6271","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mowafa","family":"Househ","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"631_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41398-020-0780-3","volume":"10","author":"C Su","year":"2020","unstructured":"Su, C., Xu, Z., Pathak, J. & Wang, F.
