Can AI chatbots support mental health?

Hi everyone,

We’ve all seen the rise of conversational AI tools and mental health chatbots. Some people find them helpful when they need support in the moment; others prefer a human connection. Still, these tools are becoming more common in mental health care.

Let’s hear your perspective:

• Have you ever used a mental health chatbot or app for support?
• What was helpful (or not) about the experience?
• Do you think AI can complement or even improve access to care?

Curious to hear your honest take.
