Is AI Your New Therapist?

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Johanna explores one of the most talked-about shifts in mental health right now — people turning to AI when they can't sleep, can't cope, and can't get an appointment. She covers the apps people are actually using, what the research says, and the very real benefits of having support available at 3am. But she also goes to the darker side — the stories of people who formed dangerous emotional attachments to AI companions, and the deaths that have followed. An honest, clear-eyed look at a tool that can help you — and, in the wrong hands, seriously harm you.
