Experts warn over rising use of AI for mental health support
Have a look at this article in the Guardian about mental health of people in the workplace.
“Therapists say they are seeing negative impacts of people increasingly turning to AI chatbots for help.
Vulnerable people turning to AI chatbots instead of professional therapists for mental health support could be “sliding into a dangerous abyss”, psychotherapists have warned.
Psychotherapists and psychiatrists said they were increasingly seeing negative impacts of AI chatbots being used for mental health, such as fostering emotional dependence, exacerbating anxiety symptoms, self-diagnosis, or amplifying delusional thought patterns, dark thoughts and suicide ideation.” The Guardian – August 2025
