Response: A paragraph summarizing prior chatbot-led interventions in Japan has been added to the Introduction section, specifically in the fifth paragraph. This revision also incorporates cultural factors unique to Japan, providing a more comprehensive understanding of how chatbot interventions are perceived and utilized in this context.

The authors stated that the design they chose “reflects the real-world experience of many psychiatric waiting list patients in Japan,” but as they also declared, “the lack of timely intervention can exacerbate symptoms and increase the risk of severe outcomes.” Therefore, given such a risk, my question is: what is the rationale behind the authors’ decision to employ a passive control group?

This paper [1] describes the results of a parallel group randomized controlled trial that examined the feasibility of an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot-led mental health intervention to support pediatric patients on the psychiatry waitlists in Japan. The article is well-written and organized, and the objectives of the study are clearly stated. Methodology elements such as eligibility criteria, information sources, and data collection process are clear.

Japan has a growing number of mental health technology apps, including various AI-driven chatbots, as outlined in recent market analyses. Several AI chatbots for mental health care have demonstrated reasonable feasibility, acceptability, and potential usefulness in Japan [15,16]. However, despite the high smartphone adoption rate among young people (96.9% among those aged 18‐29 years), actual usage of health management services remains notably low at only 21.6% [17].

Expressions of “Ikizurasa” in Posts on X (Formerly Twitter) in Japan in 2023: Descriptive Analysis
In Japan, deaths from suicide declined during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic but later increased, especially among women and people younger than 40 years [1]. Depression and hopelessness are key predictors of suicidal ideation and behavior [2,3].
Recently, ikizurasa (“pain of living”) has drawn attention as a factor in adolescent mental health issues, including hikikomori (“being confined,” a term used to describe deep social isolation) and suicide [4].

Similar figures were reported in Japan, where a previous study [3] conducted a nationwide survey of over 8000 Japanese citizens and found that approximately one-fifth of respondents experienced clinically severe anxiety and depressive symptoms. Numerous studies also found that significant changes in the economic and working conditions caused by the pandemic contributed to a marked increase in symptoms of anxiety and depression among Japanese employees [4-6].

For instance, Shinohara conducted a prospective six-month cohort study immediately after the first travel and public gathering restrictions in Japan, reporting an increase in frailty among older people [6]. Esquinas reported a decrease in physical activity and an increase in sedentary lifestyle for community-dwelling older people several weeks after a lockdown was implemented in Spain [7].

In Japan, about 50% of people use the internet as a method for collecting medical information [3]. The sources of information include those officially provided by national cancer centers, as well as those from social media. On social media, anyone can post information regardless of their expertise or qualifications, making it very difficult for patients to judge the quality of that information, which is often a mix of reliable and unreliable sources [4].
