Episode Details

Teens and young adults are turning to AI chatbots for mental health support — nearly one in five admit to using them, often in secret. While convenient, these bots can miss critical details, fail to ask vital questions, and even offer dangerous advice during crises.

Real relationships are irreplaceable when it comes to mental health. If you’re struggling, help is available 24/7 by calling or texting 988.
