Avoiding AI Psychosis: The perks and pitfalls of AI and mental health

Avoiding AI Psychosis: The perks and pitfalls of AI and mental health

Overview

Future of Good has covered the promise and peril of using AI for mental health, but a new phenomenon is raising alarms: “AI psychosis.” Vulnerable users are treating chatbots like therapists, confidants, even soulmates — with some withdrawing from real relationships, spiralling into delusion, or being pushed toward self‑harm

At the same time, millions turn to AI because human support is slow, scarce, or judgmental. For some, a chatbot is the first place they’ve ever felt heard.

So where does that leave us?

Is AI a lifeline, a liability, or something in between — and who decides?

Join us for a candid conversation on the future of AI in mental health: the risks, the real potential, and the urgent choices ahead.
