Introduction

For this discussion, you will review and critique a ChatGPT-generated treatment plan developed for a 49-year-old Latinx female diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). The purpose of this exercise is to critically evaluate the strengths and limitations of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) in formulating psychiatric treatment plans, particularly in the context of cultural sensitivity, diagnostic accuracy, and clinical applicability. As artificial intelligence tools become increasingly integrated into healthcare and education, it is essential for psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) to understand both their potential and their shortcomings in clinical decision-making.

PTSD and AUD often coexist, creating complex challenges for treatment planning, adherence, and recovery. This case invites reflection on how GAI models conceptualize trauma-informed care, pharmacologic management, and evidence-based psychotherapy. It also encourages a closer look at whether AI-generated plans appropriately address cultural identity, language considerations, and the patient’s lived experiences, all of which are vital components of holistic and ethical mental health care.

In this discussion, I will focus on two key areas: (1) evaluating the appropriateness and rationale of the diagnostic tools used in the AI-generated treatment plan, and (2) examining the strengths and weaknesses of the non-pharmacologic and patient education components. The goal is to determine how well ChatGPT aligns with current clinical practice guidelines and to identify areas where human clinical judgment, empathy, and cultural competence remain irreplaceable.

By analyzing this AI-generated treatment plan through a professional nursing lens, this discussion aims to highlight how PMHNPs can responsibly integrate GAI tools into practice—leveraging their efficiency while maintaining critical thinking, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based care.
