Traditionally, the regime of mental healthcare has followed an episodicpsychotherapy model wherein patients seek care from a provider through aprescribed treatment plan developed over multiple provider visits. Recentadvances in wearable and mobile technology have generated increased interest indigital mental healthcare that enables individuals to address episodic mentalhealth symptoms. However, these efforts are typically reactive andsymptom-focused and do not provide comprehensive, wrap-around, customizedtreatments that capture an individual's holistic mental health model as itunfolds over time. Recognizing that each individual is unique, we present thenotion of Personalized Mental Health Navigation (MHN): a therapist-in-the-loop,cybernetic goal-based system that deploys a continuous cyclic loop ofmeasurement, estimation, guidance, to steer the individual's mental healthstate towards a healthy zone. We outline the major components of MHN that ispremised on the development of an individual's personal mental health state,holistically represented by a high-dimensional cover of multiple knowledgelayers such as emotion, biological patterns, sociology, behavior, andcognition. We demonstrate the feasibility of the personalized MHN approach viaa 12-month pilot case study for holistic stress management in college studentsand highlight an instance of a therapist-in-the-loop intervention using MHN formonitoring, estimating, and proactively addressing moderately severe depressionover a sustained period of time. We believe MHN paves the way to transformmental healthcare from the current passive, episodic, reactive process (whereindividuals seek help to address symptoms that have already manifested) to acontinuous and navigational paradigm that leverages a personalized model of theindividual, promising to deliver timely interventions to individuals in aholistic manner.
